Ku Shen Chai, an artist in his early 30s, still lives with his mother, but he is suddenly shaken by the arrival of Yang Hui-ching, a mysterious princess on the run. Yang brings Ku into her circle of protectors, including a nameless monk whose spiritual guidance transforms him into a valiant fighter.
The first Chinese-language film to win an award at Cannes, King Hu’s sumptuous, Ming-dynasty saga is a veritable masterpiece of the wuxia genre. Stunning us with its dynamic combat scenes and otherworldly beauty, A Touch of Zen breathtakingly brings a spiritual dimension to the drama of swordplay.
