Off we go to China and wuxia films this week as we discuss a seminal film that helped define this genre: King Hu’s “A Touch of Zen”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss all things wuxia, the convolutedly simple plot, the idea of actors also being part of the crew, and the (unfortunate) Gu of the story. Also, this week Britt recommends “Kung Fu Hustle” (available to rent on AppleTV+), Joey recommends “Crazy Stupid Love” (available on AppleTV+),  and Adam recommends “Heist” (available to rend on most major platforms).
