A Touch of Zen Movie Reviews
I came upon this film
by accident, I looked for it on video, someone offered me a second
generation copy for US$80! No thanks, then by magic it came up on
digital TV in the UK, 3 months after I had started to look for it!
I saw the widescreen/subtitled 177 mins version, although it is 3 hours long it is not boring, it keeps your attention throughout. The fight sequences I did not find particularly thrilling except for the monks (they were exceptional). The film is a little too dark, not enough sunshine. The photography is excellent especially given the film was made in '69. You can see the similarity with the modern day "crouching tiger hidden dragon" Ang Lee has said he was inspired by this film. If you ever get a chance to see this make sure you do.
