China’s greatest literary classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms comes to the big screen in the period epic Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon. Though big-budget Chinese epics have become a mighty familiar sight in recent years, the Three Kingdoms era and its fabled lore is rarely tackled in cinema, making this latest blockbuster from Daniel Lee (Dragon Squad, A Fighter’s Blues) a groundbreaking effort. Deftly hitting screens before John Woo’s Three Kingdoms adaptation Red Cliff, Resurrection of the Dragon is based on Luo Guangzhong’s 14th-century novel which romanticizes the heroic exploits of Shu King Liu Bei and his larger-than-life generals and advisor.
