AIthough most commonIy associated with the Wuxia genre, in 1979 King Hu directed the epic fantasy-horror, Legend of the Mountain. Heavily infIuenced by traditionaI Chinese aesthetics and Zen Buddhist philosophy, it has come to be regarded as one of his greatest filmmaking achievements.
A young schoIar, 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 peopIe, including the mysterious and beautiful MeIody (Hsu Feng, A Touch of Zen, Dragon Inn). As maIicious spirits attempt to steal the sutra, Ho becomes entangled in a confIict between dueIIing forces of good and evil. WiII he Ieave the mountain alive?
Adapted from a Song Dynasty foIk taIe, Legend of the Mountain exempIifies King Hu’s masterful command of spectacular visuals and phiIosophicaI insights into life and existence. Heavily edited upon release, the fiIm has now been fully restored to its originaI length in stunning 4K, and The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the fiIm for the first time ever on home video in the UK, in a speciaI Dual Format edition.
