Review of A Touch of Zen (1971) by Steve W — 16 Aug 2011
It's a little on the slow side, taking a full hour to get to the first sword fight. But if you can handle the running time, get ready for a philosophical and deep film full of beauty. The camera shots, the landscapes, the action is all so smooth and dream like.
Definitely not for the casual martial arts or wuxia film watcher. An influence for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as well.
