We interview GoranTavolavic, co-founder of SubwayCinema and programmer, about Taiwanese Wuxia movies in the 10thOldSchoolKungFuFest and its major lineup of premieres.
The Swordsman of All SwordsmenThe Swordsman of All Swordsmen
was going to premiere in Taiwan, which was reason enough for us to focus on Taiwanese wuxia. It was also a happy coincidence that a new King Hu documentary,, also came out last year, so the timing for our Taiwan wuxia event could not have been better.
The first part of the documentary covers the works of King Hu in chronological order, with the analysis provided by film critics and scholars, and features interviews with King Hu's collaborators, including actresses Hsu Feng and Cheng Pei-pei , as well as filmmakers John Woo, Tsui Hark, and Sammo Hung. Among other things, we also get to follow one of Hu's favorite actors, Shih Chun , as he takes us to the actual locations where many of Hu's classics were filmed.
Virtually every film at the festival is a must-see. Do you have any personal favourites and recommendations? . It's a 1968 Taiwanese-language black-and-white action tornado that sometimes feels like the French New Wave doing wuxia, with great handheld camerawork, swish pans, and kinetic editing. It's all the work of first-time director Chen Hung-min, who had already edited several movies, including King Hu's.
