 How does a Buddhist spiritual leader, one step from pure enlightenment, clash with the top fighter from the imperial court - and still keep to his Buddhist practice?
No one has handled this better than King Hu in 'A Touch of Zen' - and no one has, ever since.
If not for the length - King Hu either indulged himself, or edited the film to be released in two parts for the cinema - I would have given it five stars.
Still, the best kung-fu movie ending I have ever seen. |
