The CinePearl Take

A Touch of Zen is a Standard Taiwanese Mandarin film that blends fantasy, martial arts and wuxia — expect magic, myth and invented worlds and choreographed combat and discipline. King Hu directs and the script comes from King Hu. Tien Peng and Wang Rui are among the leads. Made in Taiwan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Standard Taiwanese Mandarin-language films. At 200 minutes, it is an epic-length sit-down rather than a quick watch.
