** 4K restoration! Supplementary viewing before you head to Tsai Ming-liang’s Goodbye Dragon Inn, which plays Beacon Cinema Feb. 4–8, and NWFF Mar. 2–3 **
The wuxia genre was never the same after King Hu’s legendary Dragon Inn. During the Ming dynasty, the emperor’s minister of defense is framed by a powerful court eunuch and executed, and his family is pursued by secret police. In the ensuing chase, a mysterious band of strangers begins to gather at the remote Dragon Gate Inn, where paths (and swords) will cross. This thrilling landmark of film history returns to the screen in a new, beautifully restored digital transfer from the original negative.
(King Hu, Taiwan, 1967, 111 min, in Mandarin with English subtitles)
