I've seen few from Jeffrey Lau, and the man himself, the polymath, he will always surprise me on every single rewatch of A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella due to several reasons ~ it's behemoth Byzantine plot; it's remarkably genius satirical comedy of Chinese folk religion and mythology; it's concisely convoluted structure of characters and time travel; it's innovative concept of the multiverse clearly inspired the future generation of Marvel-lized popcorn pictures; it's condescending use of colors; it's scarcely precious sagacity of composition and enticing cinematography.
This could be a fantasy movie, an adventure, a romance film, a comedy, this could be looked at in various perspectives. Yes, it's genuinely that perplexed. Every person can interpret this movie themselves, through multiple kino dimensions, rarely a movie can ever do that, but this is a worthy prospect. You find it odd, that's okay. It takes an unexplainable amount of effort to comprehend the vehemence of this magnolious artistry.
Although this movie does deserve more prominence, it may not always end up being your cup of tea. I highly recommend to study some materials about [Journey To The West] before tackling this divine monument.
