A Touch Of Zen (DVD) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region All

Named one of the 100 best films of all-time by TIME Magazine, and one of the ten greatest Chinese-language films in history by the Hong Kong Film Awards, King Hu's 1971 masterpiece A Touch of Zen is the holy grail of wuxia pian. A huge influence on Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (and practically every martial arts movie ever made), Hu's three-hour epic weds glorious highwire-flying action sequences with insightful philosophy and a cinematic grace that remains unmatched to this day. Simultaneously profound and profoundly entertaining, A Touch of Zen is absolutely required viewing for any serious fan of wuxia.

Scholar Ku (Shih Jun) is approaching middle age, but has yet to find a wife. His prospects seemingly improve after a mysterious girl named Yang (Xu Feng) moves into the abandoned villa next door, but the fierce beauty wants nothing to do with the bookish Ku. When the scholar discovers Yang is the fugitive daughter of a wrongly executed noble being hunted by the authorities, he agrees to help Yang and her coconspirators elude capture and exact their revenge. With imperial forces closing in, Ku, Yang, and their band of rebels enter into a deadly fight that takes them on a journey throughout China and ends in the unlikeliest confrontation imaginable.

本片改編自「聊齋誌異」中的「俠女」。明朝熹宗年代，陝西省懷遠縣有位書生顧省齋（石雋）靠著賣山水字畫維生，母親（張冰玉）怨他不考科舉求功名，他卻以諸葛亮「苟全性命於亂世，不求聞達於諸侯」的淡泊表明心志。顧家旁的靖虜屯堡傳有鬼魅之跡，實則暫居著一對母女。顧母探明，這位少女名叫楊之芸（徐楓），家境清貧，僅靠著糊製錫箔所得度日。楊女實深感受到顧家母子照顧，而在花前月下與雇省齋有了一夜情緣。次日清晨，東廠歐陽年（田鵬）闖入，楊慧貞與歐陽年遂展開一場絕命廝殺。原來，楊慧貞乃是朝廷重臣楊漣（賈魯石）之後，當年，楊漣因上書彈劾內官專政而為宦官門達（王瑞）所害，東林餘黨魯將軍（薛漢）與石將軍（白鷹）偕楊女出逃，但是東廠宦黨仍是窮追不捨，在危害中幸得高僧慧圓（喬宏）相助，並收留楊慧貞躲藏於寺中習武。得知此事，顧省齋雖為一介書生，仍願助楊女一臂之力......
