FROM KING HU, THE LEGENDARY DIRECTOR OF 
A TOUCH OF ZEN, COMES A NEW RESTORATION OF
HIS EPIC MARTIAL ARTS HEIST MOVIE


              RAINING IN THE MOUNTAIN Film Movement Classics Trailer

In a remote monastery in 16th century (Ming Dynasty) China, corrupt monks conspire against each other for that plum job - Head Monk - and control of the ultimate MacGuffin: a crumbling Buddhist scroll. And with the arrival of a general and a wealthy merchant - each with their own stealthy thieves darting through the compound's corridors - the carefully-choreographed action begins, highlighted by a balletic pursuit by a posse of brightly-garbed women. One of two films (with Legend of the Mountain) made in South Korea by Wuxia (tales of martial arts superheroes) master King Hu - both starring Taiwan/Hong Kong female super-star Hsu Feng (A Touch of Zen), here as the cunning "White Fox."
