What makes watching a film so enjoyable? From transporting us to distant worlds with beautiful and striking imagery, to evoking strong cognitive and affective reactions when we become gripped by a Hero’s journey to succeed: the power of the moving image in shaping our everyday is undeniable.

In these visually arresting martial arts epic set in ancient China, an unnamed fighter (Jet Li) is being honoured for defeating three of the king's most dangerous enemies. When Nameless recounts his battles with the assassins -- Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu Wai), Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) and Moon (Zhang Ziyi) -- the king begins to question some of the details. As Nameless goes on, the king challenges the tales, interjecting his own take on this questionably suspect version of events.

Join us for an epic night at the movies with invited industry guests, including Jamie Dunn (The Skinny) and expert in visual culture Dr Chris Heppell, to discuss our obsession with the big screen and why we can’t quite keep our eyes off it!

This film will be presented with the original Mandarin dialogue and English Subtitles. The option to listen to the English dubbed version is available on our in-house headphones (limited availability).
