Synopsis

The Bride with White Hair (1993) is the Hong Kong wuxia fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Ronny Yu spins a doomed romance between Cho Yi-Hang, reluctant heir to the Wu-Tang clan, and Lien Ni-Chang, a wolf-raised assassin bred by a sinister cult. They stand on opposite sides of a brutal war, and both are sick of the lives forced on them.

Leslie Cheung plays the swordsman who never wanted to lead; Brigitte Lin is the nameless killer who has known only cruelty. Their love enrages everyone — the righteous clans on one side, the cult ruled by conjoined twins on the other. One broken promise, one flash of doubt, and the tender Lien turns overnight into a merciless witch with a mane of white hair. It runs a tight 92 minutes, yet packs in operatic passion, wire-fu battles, swirling smoke and blood. A high point of early-'90s Hong Kong wuxia, and the kind of film Asian-fantasy fans return to.
