I was looking for something chill to watch and this turned out to be perfect. Don't be put off by the references to material arts. It's not an action film.
The Assassin is loosely based on the late seventh-century martial arts story "Nie Yinniang" by Pei Xing, a core text in Chinese swordsmanship and wuxia fiction.The film is set in China during the Zhenyuan (貞元) reign period (785 to 805) in the middle of the Tang dynasty, a few years after the An Lushan rebellion (755 to 763). The circuit of Weibo, though nominally a part of the Tang Empire, is de facto ruled independently by military governor Tian Ji'an.
