About The Hero of Heroic Bloodshed: A John Woo Documentary
A "talking head" documentary that relives the fascinating and furious career of John Woo - from his early work, and emergence as a director, to his heroic bloodshed classics which changed the face of Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s. Woo then moved to America and shook up Hollywood, as many of his peers and colleagues discuss in this extensive discussion of one of the 20th century's most important and vital celluloid names. Also features Woo himself, sitting down for an exclusive on-camera retrospective.
Directed by Naomi Holwill, The Hero of Heroic Bloodshed: A John Woo Documentary leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Colleary, Victor Fan, Bruce Law Lai-Yin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2025.
