What A Touch of Zen is
You live reclusively, a painter in a haunted village. But imperial soldiers arrive, and your quietude vanishes. A noblewoman needs your help evading capture. King Hu's wuxia film elevates the genre with its spiritual and visual grandeur. It lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
