Legend of the Mountain - The Masters of Cinema Series (Blu-ray) (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Legend of the Mountain - The Masters of Cinema SeriesCondition: NewDescription: Although most commonly associated with the Wuxia genre, in 1979 King Hu directed the epic fantasy-horror, Legend of the Mountain. Heavily influenced by traditional Chinese aesthetics and Zen Buddhist philosophy, it has come to be regarded as one of his greatest filmmaking achievements. A young scholar, Ho Yunqing (Shih Jun, A Touch of Zen, Dragon Inn), is tasked by an eminent monk to transcribe a Buddhist sutra said to have immense power over the spirits of the afterlife. To execute his work in peace, he travels to an isolated monastery deep in the mountains, where he encounters a number of strange people, including the mysterious and beautiful Melody (Hsu Feng, A Touch of Zen, Dragon Inn). As malicious spirits attempt to steal the sutra, Ho becomes entangled in a conflict between duelling forces of good and evil. Will he leave the mountain alive?
Adapted from a Song Dynasty folk tale, Legend of the Mountain exemplifies King Hu s masterful command of spectacular visuals and philosophical insights into life and existence. Heavily edited upon release, the film has now been fully restored to its original length in stunning 4K, and The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film for the first time ever on home video in the UK.Format: Blu-rayNo Of Discs: 1Run Time: 191 minutesRelease Date: 03/19/2018Studio: EurekaSubtitle Language: EnglishEAN: 5060000702880Region Code: Region BGenre: Foreign Languages & EFLRating: 12Language: Mandarin, EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: Hong Kong Taiwan, United KingdomActor: Rainbow Hsu, Yueh Sun, Ming-tsai Wu, Chun Shih, Sylvia Chang, Hui Lou Chen, Lin Tung, Chia-Hsiang Wu, Feng Tien, Feng Hsu, Shih JUN, Hsu FENG, Sylvia CHANGDirector: King Hu, King HUMPN: EKA70288Type: DVD & Blu-rayRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
