2 of 1001 movies An artist, Ku, lives with his mother near an abandoned fort, reputed to be haunted. One night, investigating strange noises, he meets the beautiful Yang who is living there. She is being pursued by agents of an Imperial noble who have murdered her family. Ku finds himself caught up in her struggle to survive, and many fierce battles take place before all is resolved. Action adventure with a lyrical feel, this is a kung fu film with a strong spiritual element. Before there was Jet, before there was Jackie ... even before Bruce... if you you where looking for the finest kung fu movies you had to go to the king...King Hu.... Hard to believe that this movie is almost 50 years old but thanks to @eurekaentertainment master of cinema collection it has never looked better. This is King Hu masterpiece but I wouldn't recommend it to start with if you are starting on old kung fu movies... it has 3 hour plus run time, a very slow start and baffling ending (well it you are not a Buddhist) which can scare you off, but it is something you should see, it is amazing when it does remember it a martial arts movie and has influence so much in modern cinema (crouching tigers bamboo battles for example). But I love it and do recommend it, but check out dragons inn or come drink with me first....just to ease you into his style. #atouchofzen #kinghu #1001movies #1001moviesyoumustseebeforeyoudie #kungfumovies #kungfu #todayswatch #movieoftheday #todaywatch #nowwatching #watchingnow #movie #movienut #moviecollector #moviecollection #movieaddict #movienerd #movieoftheday #movienight #bluray #bluraycollector #cinephile #picoftheday #picoftheday📷 #like4like
