Uncover a hidden gem in the world of Chinese cinema with this new trailer for Dragon Inn by the legendary Chinese filmmaker King Hu. A clear inspiration for myriad subsequent movies, from Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, this thrilling landmark of film history returns to the screen in a new, beautifully restored digital transfer created from the original negative.

King Hu’s masterpiece A Touch of Zen recently stunned audiences at the 53rd New York Film Festival, screening 40 years after the film’s first unveiling to Western eyes, and we are excited to look at more work from this incomparable artist. Dragon Inn opens May 6 here at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
