Patrick Tam's dazzling take on the classic wuxia adventure Eureka Entertainment to release THE SWORD, Patrick Tam's dazzling take on the classic wuxia adventure. Presented for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK from a brand new 2K restoration. Available from 18 November 2024 as part of the Eureka Classics range, the Limited edition release of 2000 copies will exclusively feature an O-card slipcase, and a collector's booklet. 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 filmmaking career with The Sword: a love letter to the wuxia genre starring Adam Cheng (Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain). Believing that he is in possession of a cursed blade, the legendary swordsman Hua Qian Shu (Tien Feng, King Boxer) has retreated from the martial arts world to live in peaceful seclusion. However, his retirement has done nothing to dampen his reputation; a young warrior, Li Mak-jan (Cheng), wishes to challenge the master in order to test his own sword-fighting skill. But as Li searches for the reclusive Hua Qian Shu so that he might face him in combat, he finds himself entangled with old lovers and new rivals. Soon, it becomes apparent that the old master's sword really might be cursed and will, 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 Duel to the Death, Bastard Swordsman and Tsui Hark's Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain rejected the realist approach adopted by kung fu cinema in the previous decade. Eureka Classics 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 Blu-ray in the UK from a brand new 2K restoration.
