Jade Warrior

"Do you love me?" asks Tommi Eronen on the big screen. Nothing new here – a Finnish man whining about his love again. But this time we are in ancient China, the actress is Zhang Jingchu, and the couple has just had a dance-like fantasy duel.

The film is called Jade Warrior. It is an ambitious combination of themes from the Finnish national Kalevala and Chinese mythology, and tells the story in the style of Wuxia – Chinese warrior films."

Read more in the Helsingin Sanomat or watch the Jade Warrior trailer.


(Actually, you should do both. And if you have seen the movie already, please leave a comment and let me know if you liked it.)
