Raining in the Mountain (1978)
Director: King Hu
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stylised gesture, pantomime humour, flurries of colour and fighting: King Hu's tale of a power struggle in a Ming dynasty monastery has all the abrupt magic of a fairy story, with its villains, good guys, and secret treasure. An immaculately made, inscrutable, and eventually frustrating play of forms.Author: CA
