Dragon Inn

Ongoing

Dir. King Hu. 1967, 111 mins. New digital restoration. With Lingfeng Shangguan, Chun Shih, Ying Bai. In director King Hu’s wuxia classic, a heroic trio of renegade warriors fight evil assassins at a remote desert inn.

This recently restored version premiered in Cannes in 2014.
