trailer crawl

Watching the trailer for House of Flying Daggers has made various bits of me stand on end. Good grief, I hope it's half as good as the preview, which would make it leave it at a modest “amazing.” The Japanese release, titled Lovers -- in English -- for some reason, of the movie was a few months back, and the DVD is now available.
