Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings
Directed by Tsui Hark
Produced by Huayi Brothers Pictures
A visually ornate martial arts mystery that blends supernatural strangeness with detective intrigue, balancing spectacle and puzzle-solving across a fantastical Tang Dynasty setting.
Dee, the detective serving Chinese empress Wu Zetian, is called upon to investigate a series of strange events in Loyang, including the appearance of mysterious warriors wearing Chiyou ghost masks, foxes that speak human language and the pillar sculptures in the palace coming alive.
