I dare anyone to even try to dispute this in earnestness. Because there is utterly no topping the sets that Huo Ting Xiao designed for Zhang Yimou's underrated action melodrama Curse of the Golden Flower. Alongside Yee Chung Man's equally extravagant costumes, and shot by Zhao Xiao Ding at his very best, Huo's gobsmackingly gorgeous production design ranks as one of the greatest aesthetic achievements in cinema history. I wasn't even alive for most of cinema history and I can still say that, indeed, in total earnestness!
