**SEE NOTES: The Cinema Of King Hu: Volume One (1965 - 1973) - Limited Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray Hardbox + Hardcover Booklet (Copy)

Synopsis

Chinese cinema would not be the same without the groundbreaking influence of legendary writer and director King Hu. Combining the elegance of traditional Peking opera with the intensity of Japanese samurai cinema, Hu revolutionized the wuxia genre and helped redefine action filmmaking throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Imprint Asia celebrates the visionary filmmaker with the first of two collections exploring the legacy and artistry of King Hu’s influential filmography. This first volume journeys through fantasy, folklore, martial arts, and supernatural spectacle across six acclaimed Hong Kong and Taiwanese classics.
