King Hu's romantic chivalry adventure is a masterpiece of Chinese cinema, a magnificent epic with grand battles fought with the grace of a ballet with swords, and the most significant cinematic inspiration for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

a true game-changer in the way it infused the wuxia (martial arts) genre with both epic scale and spiritual intensity

Q Network Film Desk
Hu directs a film that stands apart from the plethora of wuxia titles for many reasons, but particularly because the script does not exist to provide a background for the action, but it is elaborately written filled with social and philosophical comments

Asian Movie Pulse
[King Hu] has not ignored traditional mayhem here, but he has demonstrated that pictorial artistry, Zen mysticism and the stylized martial arts, can make a fascinating mix.

Product Description:
A Hong Kong and Wu Xia Pian (martial arts fantasy) classic, A TOUCH OF ZEN is not only one of the East's best loved films, but is also the basis for the hit CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Set during the Ming Dynasty, the film stars Hsu Feng as Yang, the daughter of a government official who, along with the rest of her family besides herself, were murdered when her father uncovered a plot to overthrow the emperor. Escaping with two friends, Yang takes refuge with a scholar and the two plan to make a stand against the army of the evil eunuch Hsu, who wishes to murder her before she can reveal his plot to the emperor.
