          One of those rare 3-hour films you want to rewatch ASAP

          Wow.... so while this might have its flaws, as an experience it's overwhelming (in a good way) and frequently stunning, as well as something that goes by pretty quickly for three hours.

          Despite the epic length, it doesn't feel like a traditional epic. It more felt like two - or maybe even three - plots sort of smooshed together. And on top of that, each third of the film is very distinct. The first third has no action and is sort of like a period drama/mystery. The second third is more straightforward martial arts fare, feeling very similar to another of King Hu's films, Dragon Inn (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). The final third retains the action but takes thing in a really interesting surreal/spiritual/maybe even psychological direction. It's hard to put into words, but it leaves an impact.

          I wouldn't call this poorly written, but the distinctive acts and more than one plot all combined together did create something of a disjointed feeling. It didn't make the movie harder to get through, as I only realised it wasn't entirely cohesive right at the end, but it's worth mentioning. The first third might have been a tad slow, too. But after an hour, there's no point where it feels like things drag.

          Thankfully everything else is close to perfect. For starters, it's visually stunning. It has some of the best lighting I think I've ever seen, with night scenes looking realistically dark (without things being impossible to see), and all the scenes during the day are just gorgeous. All the great landscapes help, too.

          The action satisfies and all the performances and characters are quite good. Very good music, too. On a rewatch I might not be bothered by some of those unusual screenplay decisions, but even with that minor criticism, this is still an amazing movie, and probably among the best martial arts movies I've ever seen.

          Top ten favorites. A Touch of Zen

          A Touch of Zen (1969) has to be one of the best films ever made. I am one of those people who can never truly name a personnel favorite film. I feel that there isn't a film that you can say is the best ever. I still do but if I had to say five or ten, A Touch of Zen would have to be in the top five. I haven't felt this way about a movie since I saw The Seventh Seal. I love this movie. Everything from the beautiful photography down to the deepness of the picture. The acting is superb, the writing is top notch and the direction is flawless. The film has everything you could want in a movie; action, drama, and comedy. The soundtrack is haunting and the wire work is amazing. No wonder why so many movies have copied off of this film (notably Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix Trilogy). Unlike those other films this movie will withstand the test of time

          P.S.

          This movie is awesome. A magical experience caught on celluloid. A true treasure.

          Finally available

          For UK DVD viewers, this genre classic is finally available to own. Optimum's print is not perfect (slightly dim in places), and you can't turn off the giant subtitles (should you want to), but at least we can see the full version of King Hu's masterpiece. Anybody seriously interested in martial arts cinema must seek out a copy, since it represents one of the most elegant examples of its type, a few years before the international success of Asian fight flicks proliferated a slew of poorly dubbed, re-edited versions for Western markets, solidifying the stereotype of "chop-socky" films as plot-free, laughable foreign commodities. A Touch of Zen builds up for almost a full hour before so much as a punch is thrown. The story is narrow, but complex, and King Hu takes time to create atmosphere, and a sense of place and time which is often taken for granted in other period epics. Oh yes, and the fight scenes are great.

          The ultimate martial arts movie?

          I first saw 'A Touch of Zen' in the late 70s; it had such an effect on me that I looked for it on video for years and years, but to no avail - then to my relief it was shown on TV during a martial arts night twenty years later. In fact it was shown as the finale of that night - so perhaps I am not the only person who thinks this is the ultimate martial arts film.

          It is over three hours long; the first hour is mainly scene-setting and not much happens, but this just adds to the impact. All you could want in a film is here - tension, action, arty filmwork, a kind of love interest, action, beautifully choreographed fights, intrigue, action, comedy, philosophy.... and a monk who is so pure that when he is wounded he bleeds.... well, you'd better see for yourself what he bleeds.

          A must-see (if you have three hours to spare).

          Not just a kung-fu masterpiece, one of the last century's great cinema triumphs

          I just never expected anything like the experience of watching "A Touch of Zen". I settled down to watch a quaint old film from 1960s' world cinema. Three hours later I was exhilarated after stumbling across of the greatest films made in the 20th century - and it wasn't a moment too long.

          The film is carefully structured, in three contrasting sections. It is only when you look back that you realize just how cleverly King Hu has created those three sections. The same characters, for the most part, appear in each section, but each focuses on a different combination. The first section focuses on the artist Ku, slowly building a picture of a quiet life in a rural backwater. The second switches tempo, with amazing martial arts action focusing on the fugitive Ku and her friends. The final section calms down again, as the mysterious Buddhist monk comes into sharp focus, and the martial arts become more and more amazing.

          All this takes place in the most beautiful Chinese countryside, sometimes bathed in light (the use of sunlight and the monk is particularly impressive) and sometimes in dramatic thunderstorms, making the film even more of a delight to watch. Don't be put off by the 'kung-fu' label, this is even better than "Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger".

            Director King Hu had a full village constructed for the opening half of the movie, and then left it alone for nine months to give it a weathered look.

          • Alternative Versionen
            A Touch Of Zen was originally released in Taiwan in two parts with a total running time of 3 hours 20 minutes. However, the bamboo forest sequence which ended part one was reprised at the beginning of part two, adding over 20 minutes to the total running time. When the two parts were combined by King Hu without any repeated scenes in 1975, the resulting total time was 3 hours. The 2015 4K restoration from the original negative runs 2 hours 59 minutes.
