It's not any easier on his fiancee of seven years when conductor Chow Yun Fat and Brigitte Lin, star-crossed lovers from the Qin dynasty, fall for each other again in the 20th century. It's a vaguely poignant supernatural drama, and Brigitte is always a welcome sight, but let's be blunt: it's a neat concept awkwardly written and directed, and further marred by an echoey synth soundtrack.

(2/4)
