The Sentimental Swordsman (Mandarin version)
Shawscope Volume Three
•
1h 43m
1977 • Hong Kong • Directed by Chor Yuen
One of director Chor Yuen’s crowning achievements, The Sentimental Swordsman epitomizes the lone, virtuous, heroic swordsman with a twist. Swordsman Li Xunhuan, magnificently played by the highly respected and popular Ti Lung, is also a hero with weaknesses; he drinks too much and believes in love and emotion. Chor's swordsman films created romantic worlds lavishly infused with flamboyant atmospheric settings as evident by the film receiving the Special Award for Best Cinematography at the 1978 Golden Horse Awards. This is the Mandarin version.
