The Blade (4K Restoration)
Sat 7. Nov · 17:50 · Filmhouse
In a lawless and brutal country dominated by ruthless bandit clans, Ding On works as a blacksmith’s apprentice in a remote sword factory. When he discovers the truth about his father's murder, Ding On sets off on a quest for revenge after bandit leader Fei Lung. In pursuit of vengeance, Ding On narrowly escapes an ambush, but loses his right arm in the process. Finding a half-burnt martial arts manual, he strengthens his resolve, forging a broken blade and adapting his fighting style to attain his retribution. Directed by Tsui Hark, this ferocious reimagining of Chang Cheh’s 1967 wuxia classic One-Armed Swordsman is a force of visual chaos and raw aggression. Driven by wild, immersive camerawork, and a gritty atmosphere, the film remains a visceral, influential cult classic. In Cantonese with English subtitles. The Way Of The Sword: Wuxia Masters is co-presented by Filmhouse and Momo Film Co, and supported by Singapore Film Society Rating TBA.
