Curse of the Golden Flower is a movie during the times of dynasties in China. The emperor marries a princess of a different region, and have two sons together. The palace is filled with deception, secrecy, and affairs.
As time passes, the Empress becomes progressively ill, which does not subside with all the medicines. Throughout the movie, the Empress has a strange obsession with golden chrysanthemums.
Although this movie was actually released by Sony (American made foreign film), it still has a great story with beautiful scenes. The movie is in Mandarin with English subtitles so it has a more foreign feel.
