Shot simultaneously with Legend of the Mountain in South Korea and with the same cast, this evocative film is set apart from its meditative twin by its compact heist-like structure, as three travellers arrive at a Buddhist temple in search of a hidden sutra. Displaying Hu’s unparalleled poetic sense of movement – as director, writer, editor and art director – the film “is designed for the big screen, where details can blossom in distant crannies” (David Bordwell). Included in the 2005 Hong Kong Film Awards’ Best 100 Chinese Motion Pictures list.
