Presented in a new restoration, this late King Hu wuxia masterpiece, drawn from a Song Dynasty tale, blends myth and history to astonishing effect. A travelling scholar, intent on translating a Buddhist sutra, loses his way in the mountains, where time and space collapse. As ghostly visitations haunt his journey, Hu crafts a mesmerizing fantasia of color, light, and landscape.
