This one had a ton of unexpected gore, which sort of added to the set design in a way. Everything's so drape-y billowy and dark red and then "spoooosh!", more red. I always imagine the director commanding the guy that has to control the squeeze-bottles of fake blood on the sidelines, LOL. </p> <p>Maybe it's just because I like Daniel Wu, but <em>The Banquet</em> was enjoyable, despite his oddball booming baritone. </p> Even though I have a sort of love-hate relationship with the flamboyant “flying” films, the choreography and costumes matched quite well.
