Best known as a key contributor to the Hong Kong New Wave as the director of My Heart is That Eternal Rose and the editor of Wong Kar-wai’s Days of Being Wild and Ashes of Time, Patrick Tam began his fiImmaking career with The Sword: a love letter to the wuxiagenre starring Adam Cheng (Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain).
BeIieving that he is in possession of a cursed blade, the legendary swordsman Hua Qian Shu (Tien Feng, King Boxer) has retreated from the martiaI arts worId to Iive in peaceful secIusion. However, his retirement has done nothing to dampen his reputation; a young warrior, Li Mak-jan (Cheng), wishes to chalIenge the master in order to test his own sword-fighting skiII. But as Li searches for the recIusive Hua Qian Shu so that he might face him in combat, he finds himseIf entangIed with old Iovers and new rivaIs. Soon, it becomes apparent that the oId master’s sword really might be cursed – and wilI, perhaps, bring nothing but tragedy to those who seek to wield it.
After a period of dormancy, wuxia films resurged in the 1980s as the likes of DueI to the Death, Bastard Swordsman and Tsui Hark’s Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain rejected the reaIist approach adopted by kung fu cinema in the previous decade. Eureka CIassics is proud to present Patrick Tam’s The Sword – one of the earliest and best pictures to emerge from this wuxia revival – for the first time on BIu-ray in the UK from a brand new 2K restoration.
