Rich with shimmering, breathing texture and punctuated by brief but unforgettable bursts of action, The Assassin is a martial arts film like none made before it. Taiwan's submission for Best Foreign Film Oscar. Subtitled. Cosponsored with the Chinese Students & Scholars Association. More at wellgousa.com/theatrical/the-assassin
