YesAsia Editorial Description

Visionary filmmaker Tsui Hark directs Green Snake, a lavish adaptation of an Ancient Chinese tale of immortal creatures seeking humanity. Sister snakes Green (Maggie Cheung) and White (Joey Wang) have managed to attain human form after centuries of practicing sorcery. They seek to understand and be a part of humanity, and desire love and compassion in their new forms. But their entry to the human world upsets the natural order, and is not welcomed by all. Zealous Buddhists attempt to seek out and destroy the snakes, especially Fa Hoi (Chao Wen Cho), a monk conflicted by forbidden earthly desires and his assigned spiritual mandate. Though the Snakes mean no harm to humanity, their presence invites the wrath of Heaven...

Tsui Hark's Green Snake is a brilliantly conceived spectacle of lush art direction and over-the-top emotions. His adaptation of this age-old tale is given an allegorical spin that's both subversive and radical, and undeniably fascinating. Over-the-top action, slow-motion eroticism, an eclectic instrumental score, and lurid cinematography help bring Tsui Hark's creative vision to life. Featuring commanding performances from Maggie Cheung and Joey Wang, Green Snake is a luscious cinematic fantasy that ranks among Tsui Hark's most daring works!

Great film Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The first time i saw this film was when it was first realeased back in the early 90s? It was a bad hired copy from the local video man and the film ended in the middle of the battle scene at the end... for all these years i thought the film actually ended like that and bcos i have read a few reviews before from other people saying the ending was quite abrupt too... But WOW now that i managed to watch this new DVD version, I am amazed at how great this film is... even though only missed about 10 minutes of the ending al these years. but it does make it complete to see an actual ending though it would be nice to a sequel to this great film!!! I really miss these great films by Tsui Hark and Joey Wong and Maggie cheung!! PS. otice how rgeat this film was and the main male actor is unheard of even at the time of the release of the film?! Haha... but he's rgeat anyway! Don't see many great new actors/actresses these days.

Masterpiece Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
A genuinely great film: imaginative, spectacular, humourous and tragic, this will not be like anything you have seen before. Some viewers may dislike the lurid colours but they lend the film a sense of otherworldliness wholly appropriate to the story and to its characters - the Green Snake and the White Snake who have descended to earth and the Buddhist priest struggling with his inner demons. Joey Wang and Maggie Cheung have never, simply never, been more beautiful on the screen. Not only visually does 'Green Snake' excel - the score by James Wong Jim is astonishing, with the introductory song peformed by Winnie Hsin and the later dance piece by Sarah Chen stunning both in their beauty and in their harmonization with the images they accompany. If Tsui Hark had made only this film, he would deserve to be remembered for ever. Not a sugar-coated inconsequential fairy tale, the director has fashioned an unforgettable romance of forbidden love assailed by monkish inflexibility and the pettiness of the world. The closing image is extremely powerful, only to be compared in its potency to the conclusion of the German film 'Aguirre, Wrath of God'. Nothing more to be said - a fabulous fabulous film.

Brilliant and sad story with great performances Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This is probably one of the best movies with Joey Wong that I have seen except maybe of course the classis Chinese Ghost Story. Joey and Maggie Cheung are possitively radient and lucious in this movie. Although this movie has some overly colorful cinematagraphy and the special effects are pretty cheesy, the plot and the performance from the two leading ladies more than make up for the flaws. If you are a Joey Wong fan then this is a must see because I do not think it is possible to find Joey in a sexier or more noble role. Joey Wong's performance and her sad conclusion actually made my eyes water like crazy.

Okay movie Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
It was an okay movie. I like the story line a lot, but I thought the color was really bad. If you really want to see it than buy it, otherwise it's not worth your money.
