Chinese maestro Zhang Yimou filmed an epic wuxia story of a nameless warrior who defeats three formidable martial arts masters. The score is by composer Tan Dun, whose musical production 'Requiem for Nature' has its world première at the Holland Festival.
Once upon a time there was… a Chinese king who wanted to rule all of China; but there were also three illustrious warriors in the service of his enemies who did everything to prevent this. Suddenly, a Warrior with No Name (Jet Li) from the provinces appears at the gates to the Forbidden City. In an audience with the king of Qin, this Nameless One tells of his epic victories over Heaven, Broken Sword and Flying Snow.
