King Hu′s A Touch of Zen (The New Hong Kong Cinema) - Tapa blanda

Stephen Teo has taught me - and continues to teach me - more about Hong Kong movies than any other writer. And he does this not by seeing them in isolation from the rest of cinema but by regarding them as a living part of an ever-changing whole. - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader "Stephen Teo has taught me - and continues to teach me - more about Hong Kong movies than any other writer.

King Hu's A Touch of Zen is the first book-length study of a classic martial arts film from 1971- the first Chinese-language film to gain recognition in an international film festival (it won a major prize at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival) and which provided the generic mould for the latter "crossover" success of Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in 2000.
