Half-Watching: The Grandmaster (2013)

Chinese folk hero/martial artist/Communist avant la lettre Ip Man (Tony Leung Chiu Wai looking uncannily like Barack Obama) kicks the crap out of various luminaries of historical  Wuxia, as he does in a number of other movies. Ip, being an upstanding citizen and Kung Fu hero, has the Superman problem that he can never really fail, so the filmmakers smartly focus on the fallible and thus far more interesting Gong Er (Zhang Zyi) a woman heir to the other great school and thus torn between familial honour and traditional sexism. The fight scene between the two manages to make wirework legitimately sexy.
