Review by James Christopher Monger

Huo Yuan Jia, known in English-speaking countries as Jet Li’s Fearless, chronicled the life of martial arts legend Huo Yuanjia. Composer Shigeru Umebayashi (Curse of the Golden Flower, 2046) peppers the film with a seductive blend of traditional Asian folk music and majestic orchestration that dutifully compliment the lush vistas of 20th century China.

Contemplative and elegiac, this score for Jet Li’s martial-arts movie is light years away from your usual Hollywood action music–even when the pace picks up, it remains evocative and elegant, with a tinge of underlying melancholy. For this we have to thank Japanese composer Shigeru Umebayashi (formerly of the rock band EX), who also gave us marvelous scores for Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love and Zhang Yimou’s House of Flying Daggers. Here he relies on roiling percussion, ethereal choirs, and Japanese and Chinese flutes to suggest both the 19th-century setting of the film and an end-of-an-era mood. Look for "Habanera" from Carmen buried toward the end, performed by Japanese soprano Michiko Hayashi and–befitting such a relatively pared-down album–a lone piano. –Elisabeth Vincentelli
