3/11/18 review of film The Assassin, dir. by Hou Hsiao-Hsien

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the film The Assassin, directed by Hou Hsiao-Hsien.

The thread gives a summary of the film, as well as some context of the screening, which took place at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Sloans Lake theater's Yum Cha series. The thread discusses the film's understated feeling overall and in its fight scenes, its beautiful colors, and its somewhat difficult plot. It discusses some of the film's themes. It compares the film to detective stories and ghost or horror stories. And it discusses some of the film's interesting visual and sound techniques.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order on Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is slightly affected. My apologies.
