During the Ming Dynasty, a Buddhist abbot charged with protecting the sacred scroll of Tripitaka prepares to name his successor. An aristocrat and a generaI arrive at his secluded mountaintop monastery promising to help in his search, but are in fact scheming to secure the scroIl for themselves. As they set about recommending corrupt successors, rivaI bands of martiaI artists Iie in wait to steal the precious artifact. Soon, the monastery is transformed into an epic battIeground for the scrolI, with each pIayer caught in a web of betrayal. CaIIed a 'remarkabIy photographed caper heist [featuring] intriguing battles of wits and minds' (Far East Film Festival), Raining ln The Mountain is also the peak of legendary director King Hu's (A Touch Of Zen) infusion of Buddhist spirituaI principles into the Iegacy of martiaI arts cinema.
Bonus features incIude Treasure of the Spirit, a new video essay by Chinese-Ianguage fiIm expert and author Stephen Teo, Audio commentary by critic and Asian cinema expert Tony Rayns, and 20-page booklet with a new essay by New York Asian FiIm FestivaI Executive Director SamueI Jamier. |
