series All Hail the King: The Films of King Hu
Directed by Li Han Hsiang | 1963

"The settings and costumes are absolutely exquisite, and they are beautifully photographed in a quality of color that our best Hollywood films seldom match."
—The New York Times
Hu cut his teeth at the legendary Shaw Brothers studio, where he assistant directed this sweeping musical based on a famed Chinese legend about a young woman (Loh) who disguises herself as a male in order to attend college and falls in love with a man who doesn’t know her true identity. Rooted in the highly stylized tradition of Chinese opera, this sumptuously mounted romance proved nothing short of a box office phenomenon throughout Southeast Asia, helping jumpstart Hu’s own directorial career.
