Ling narrates as the daughter of a master sword-maker. She pines after the affection of two workers Ding On and Iron Head, but soon events take a violent turn as rogues start to cause trouble in the local village. Once Ding On discovers who murdered his father he sets off on a quest for revenge, which includes saving Ling, losing his arm and renouncing violence to live a quiet rural life. As with the original, a man cannot escape his destiny and fate forces him to confront the demons of his past. Edit Translation

A whirlwind of blood, dust and psychedelic colour

Tsui Hark's 90s reimagining of the classic Shaw Brothers One-Armed Swordsman series, The Blade is a whirlwind of blood, dust and psychedelic colour. Beneath its rough, brutal appearance lies an uncompromising and technically evolved offering that takes a simple tale of vengeful perseverance and gives it the nihilistic gritty art-house treatment offering new twists on old conventions. Although seemingly frantic, it's never random, Hark brings such meticulous attention to everything it's hard not to be impressed.
