Not so Grand

The Grandmaster (2013)

Directed by Wong Kar-Wai this film based on real events stars Tony Leung Chui-Wai, Zhang Ziyi, Wan QingXiang and Zhang Jin. We follow the life of Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man from the 1930s to 1950s.

I watched the 108 minute cut of this film released by The Weinstein Company and I have to say I found it to be rather disappointing. It always feels like this is an extended trailer rather than a complete narrative, just showing us highlights not a connected story. Some of the fight sequences are really impressively shot but that is not enough to carry this film.


3/5
