House of Flying Daggers (Chinese: 十面埋伏) is a multiple Satellite, LA Film Critcs & Boston Film Critics award-winning 2004 wuxia romance film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Andy Lau, Zhang Ziyi and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Unlike other wuxia films, it is more of a love story than purely a martial arts film. The film features the theme of a beautiful woman who brings woe to two men. The soundtrack is produced and created by legendary Japanese composer Shigeru Umebayashi and features vocals by Zhang Ziyi and Kathleen Battle. Shigeru Umebayashi is perhaps best known for "Yumeji's Theme" (originally from Seijun Suzuki's Yumeji), included in director Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love.
House of Flying Daggers is available as a limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl and includes a 4-page booklet with movie pictures.
