A Touch of Zen

A woman named Yang Hui-zhen (Hsu Feng) moves into a ruined fort near a small village, and nobody can say who she is or what she is running from. Gu Sheng-zhai (Shih Chun), an unambitious painter who lives nearby, gets pulled into her fight against corrupt officials, with Buddhist monks joining on her side. King Hu set it in the Ming dynasty, but the film stays with Yang, a stranger who has put her life in the hands of near-strangers.
