Dragon Inn

龍門客棧 (original)

MARTIAL ARTS SALE! For a Limited period, selected Martial Arts and Wuxia titles from ONLY £9.99 each!A quintessential entryway into the highly stylized, tightly choreographed wuxia genre of martial arts cinema, Dragon Inn was a global breakthrough for the form’s greatest practitioner, King Hu. Its influence remains incalculable, from its annihilation of traditional expectations of what kind of role an actress should inhabit (also chipped away at by Hu’s previous masterpiece Come Drink with Me), to the formation of many of the genre’s archetypes – such as the Eunuch, the Swordswoman, and the Family of Murdered Loyal Officials – that are still recognizable in the martial arts films of today.It’s the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The powerful eunuch Cao (Pai Ying) has killed the Loyal Minister Yu, and Yu’s children are exiled to the border, whereupon Cao undertakes efforts to massacre the remnants of the family. As Yu’s children take refuge in the Dragon Gate Inn, Xiao the righteous swordsman (Shih Jun) and the surviving loyalists of Minister Yu engage in a series of battles to the death against the forces of the blood thirsty eunuch.After having returned to the spotlight in 2003 as the backdrop for Tsai Ming-liang’s modern classic Good Bye Dragon Inn, Hu’s film is again resurrected by way of the dazzling 2014 4K restoration presented here. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Dragon Inn for the first time in the UK in a Dual Format special edition.Reviews“A facinating reminder of what martial arts cinema looked like before the rise of Bruce Lee” – Neo Magazine“a touchstone of martial arts cinema ★★★★☆” – Total Film“riotously entertaining” – Sight & Sound
