Handout still of the movie "The Assassin" featuring Taiwanese actress Shu Qi. A movie about a highly-trained female assassin swept the Asian Film Awards in Macau Thursday (17 March 2016), bagging prizes for best film, best actress and best director at the glittering ceremony. The movie took home more than half of the night's prizes, eight out of 15 trophies, at one of Asia's leading film awards held in the glamorous casino town in southern China. Set in the Tang Dynasty era in China, "The Assassin" is a slow-burning minimalist movie with Taiwanese megastar Shu Qi playing a skilled female assassin sent back to her home province to kill its governor, who is also the man she loves. "I'm so lucky this year, " Shu, wearing a sparkling silver dress, told reporters after receiving the best actress award. Chinese actress Zhou Yun grabbed best supporting actress for her performance in the film, which she said was a "surprise".
