White Haired Witch (aka The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom)    (2014)


The cinematography is beautiful. Not sure if this is part of a series or if the factional fighting has historical basis. I know that especially before the 20th century there was a considerable amount of clans fighting for control in Asian countries especially in China and Japan. Obviously one has to take a "leap" of faith regarding the supernatural elements of the conflict. Other than getting mildly confused with all the infighting of the different clans, I could follow this movie with the assistance of the subtitles and the excellent acting. The love story was touching and felt real. However the ending was somewhat too metaphysical for me, but then I am a westerner. Stay for the end of the credits (approximately @0:30) for an interesting scene.
