Confucius (Blu-ray) slipcased edition

One of China’s most celebrated actors leads an epic portrait of history’s greatest philosopher in this sweeping biographical drama from director Hu Mei.China, 500 BC. As a brilliant scholar and government official in the state of Lu, Confucius (Chow Yun-Fat) rises to hold the highest offices in the land, using his moral authority to reform corruption, suppress the power of rival warlords, and bring a measure of peace to a kingdom on the brink. But when court intrigue and jealousy drive him from power, CONFUCIUS is forced into two decades of wandering exile, travelling between warring kingdoms with a small band of devoted disciples, imparting wisdom that will endure for two and a half millennia.Lushly photographed and featuring a commanding central performance from Chow Yun-Fat, CONFUCIUS is a rare epic that balances spectacle with genuine philosophical depth — exploring how one man’s ideas of virtue, loyalty, and social order shaped an entire civilisation.This Nova Media slipcased Blu-ray edition presents the film in 1080p full HD with Mandarin audio and English subtitles.
