This screening is presented by Arkadin’s new series COUNTER PROGRAM, an alternative to the multiplex, and will feature an intro by local film critic Joshua Ray, founder of The Take-Up.

Got the box office blues? Counter Program is your once monthly dose of arthouse, cult, or world cinema to fight your malady of the mainstream. 

Tsui Hark—maker of Green Snake, Double Team, and Hong Kong cinema’s master of mayhem—whips up dizzying flurry of sight and sound so fast and furious it would make even The Flash’s head spin. Zu: Warriors From the Magic Mountain, his 1983 looney-toon wuxia is filled to the brim with awe-inspiring set-pieces (featuring design by Wong Kar-Wai collaborator William Chang), avenging flying ghost spirits, and a cast of other HK legends including Brigitte Lin, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung and Corey Yuen (co-directors of Jackie Chan’s Dragons Forever).

“You have never ever seen anything like this. One of the most imagination packed films ever made, to the point that coherence is secondary, and expressionism is everything.” -Justin Decloux
