#MURDER SET PIECES UNCUT TORRENT SERIES#

Through it all, thereвЂ™s a symmetry reminiscent of classic tragedy.вЂќ вЂњA magical metaphysical tour that begins with the understated elegance of a haiku, unfolds into a tension-packed action film, and climaxes with a sense of wonder to rival Close Encounters of the Third Kind. вЂњKing Hu has demonstrated that pictorial artistry, Zen mysticism and the stylized martial arts, can make a fascinating mix.вЂќ вЂњKing Hu's remarkable Ming Dynasty epic deliberately makes itself impossible to define, beginning as a ghost story, then turning into a political thriller, and finally becoming a metaphysical battle.вЂќ

вЂњJAW-DROPPING! King HuвЂ™s most elaborateВ wuxiaвЂ¦a superlative series of choreographed action set pieces in fantastic widescreen landscapes.вЂќ For years, Hu labored on his own, creating one exquisitely crafted film after another (with astonishing pre-CGI visual effects), elevating the martial arts genre to unparalleled heights and single-handedly introducing Chinese cinema to the rest of the world.вЂќ вЂњWhen it comes to the wuxia film, all roads lead back to the great King Hu: supreme fantasist, Ming dynasty scholar, and incomparable artist. Blades clanging, arrows flying, bodies tumbling through the air: the rituals of martial-arts combat unfold again and again and again in impressionistic jabs of sound and image вЂ¦ ItвЂ™s yet another source of astonishment that works of such sustained sublimity, which at their best feel willed by an intelligence more cosmic than human, could prove to be of this world.вЂќ вЂњPivoting on fight sequences that seem constructed at the molecular level, cinema is designed to be, first and foremost, a formalistвЂ™s reverie. 'GORGEOUS! The undisputed poet laureate ofВ wuxiaВ films, Hu treats his genre material as if it were high art, balancing action and atmospherics in each battle.В Accept no substitutes.вЂќ

Restored in 4K by LвЂ™Immagine Ritrovata, with original materials provided by the Taiwan Film Institute. This new restoration of HuвЂ™s complete 3-hour epic returns the exemplar and template of an entire genre to his original vision. HuвЂ™s epic of wuxia (ancient martial arts), begun in 1969, entailed meticulous preparation and care вЂ“ the fort took 9 months to get right, partly to let the overgrowing vegetation to grow in place and an epic battle with the producer, who insisted it be released in two still-truncated parts Hu only got it his way in 1975, when a nearly complete version was shown at Cannes, where it won the Grand Prize for Technical Achievement вЂ“ and an apology from his studio heads. (1971-72) In 15th century China, toothily nerdy scholar and painter Shih Jun and his nagging mother live next to an abandoned fort reputed to be haunted вЂ“ so who is that mysterious, beautiful Hsu Feng whoвЂ™s moved in? вЂ“ a ghost? And what is that stranger who wants his portrait painted really up to? And what about the doctor who wonвЂ™t take money and is the blind fortune teller really blind? But a flashback to scheming and murder at the highest levels of the court starts the answers and the battles coming: the elaborate ambush at the fort that engulfs an entire assassination cohort, to the chortling delight of its unlikely strategist вЂ“ until, he realizes, in the light of day, there are dead people here the fight in the bamboo forest that took 25 days of shooting (its hollow was sunlit only a few hours a day) the fight through incredible rock formations and rivers cutting between up-rearing crags and a final showdown in spectacularly godforsaken desert that leaves one opponentвЂ™s vision reduced to color negative, the other bleeding golden blood, a climax mystically Buddhist (Taiwanese writer/director Hu admitted that he himself was not Buddhist).
