Da lunhui (1983)
Ride the King Hu's Visual Rainbow
The King Hu segment was marvelous, the other two not so much, but all in all a visually stunning piece of cinema. I can see why it has had such a cool reception when it came out, or even in the present day, but as a very visually orientaited person I just couldn't help but to fall for this movie. Rhe music is also something to applaud. Acting was decent, with Chun Shih shining as usual and Hsueh-Fen Peng adding her fresh charm as the leading lady. The story offered just enough to keep me going but it wasn't the soul of this movie.
I also have to add that I'm a sucker for Chinese Opera, which might play a part in my love for this movie.
This is one the few movies I have bought on blu-ray from japan, without english subtitles, it's that much of an visual experience.
