"Raining in the Mountain" (1979, Taiwan/Hong Kong), written and directed by King Hu, is coming to my local theatre The Cinematheque this weekend! Set in a secluded Ming Dynasty monastery where plans to steal a secret Buddhist scripture and name the abbot's successor are at play, and of course contested by means of martial arts, this one heavily influenced Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger. I can't wait to see it on the big screen. #movies #cinema #HongKongCinema #KungFuFlicks #AsianMastodon #Vancouver
