“Visionary” barely begins to describe this masterpiece of Chinese cinema and martial arts moviemaking. A TOUCH OF ZEN is an unparalleled work in KING HU’s formidable career and an epic of the highest order, characterized by breathtaking action choreography, stunning widescreen landscapes, and innovative editing.

Don’t miss this newly digitally restored, 4K uncut version. This is where CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON’s famous bamboo forest fight scenes come from.
