THE ASSASSIN

November 28 – December 3

THE ASSASSIN

Dir: Hsiao-Hsien Hou / 2015 / Mandarin with English Subtitles / 107 min / DCP

Cannes Film Festival award winner The Assassin is an unconventional martial arts epic that burns with storied atmosphere instead of jarring violence. Nie is a lethal weapon: trained as a stealth assassin since her childhood abduction, her deadly skills are hidden beneath her luminescent beauty. When given a difficult assignment involving a former lover, she is forced to make a decision to go forward with her duty or cling to her remaining humanity. “Masterful. The best film of Cannes Film Festival. Everyone was, in one way or another, ravished.”– John Powers, NPR
