...With so much flora and fauna on display, the show offers relatively few pictures of people. Only one portrait is included: the stern Cho Man-young, with stringy beard and moustache, painted by Yi Han Chul in the 19th century. Still, there are some lovely renderings of the literati themselves: scholars alone in their pavilions admiring nature, or meandering through the countryside on the backs of donkeys, or on a picnic?challenging one another to produce the best picture or most expressive calligraphy.

...skirmishes here mix sudden violence with slow-motion artistry. The attractive cast can sell an obsession or articulate a conundrum with equal fervor. Eva Green, in the token-girl role every action epic needs, has a classic movie star's beauty and allure, and Bloom has matured splendidly (the beard helps). He gives Balian heft and winsomeness as a pensive man of action...
