Brotherhood of Blades II is one of the most anticipated Chinese films this summer. The martial arts movie is the prequel to the 2014 hit Brotherhood of Blades, which received critical acclaim for its in-depth examination of humanity and style of aesthetics. Set in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the new movie will see the return of Shen Lian, the protagonist warrior. Shen is a member of the imperial secret police force Jinyiwei. His encounter with a mysterious painter draws him into a conspiracy cycle.
