 |  | A Touch of Zen Sunday, June 8, 2008, 2:00 pm, Meyer Auditorium Generally acknowledged as Hu's masterpiece, this blend of mysticism and action elevated the martial arts film to new heights of sophistication. Living in a fortress that is rumored to be haunted, a scholar encounters what he thinks is a ghost, but the situation turns out to be more complicated than that. The film's technical wizardry—especially the oft-imitated but never equaled battle in a bamboo grove—earned Hu comparisons to directors Akira Kurosawa and Sergei Eisenstein. 1971 / 170 min. Mandarin with English subtitles. Part of the series King Hu: Inspired by Taiwan, presented in conjunction with Yellow Mountain: China's Ever-Changing Landscape. This series is cosponsored by the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office in the US. Additional Taiwanese films are shown on May 30 and 31 at TECRO's Twin Oaks estate in Washington.

 | | Dragon Gate Inn Friday, June 6, 2008, 7:00 pm, Meyer Auditorium Directors as diverse as Ang Lee and Tsai Ming-liang have paid tribute to this iconic martial arts film. Its astonishing fight sequences, which were inspired by the rhythms of Beijing Opera, set a new standard for the genre, and its heroine, a no-nonsense fighter capable of dispatching dozens of enemies with her sword, spawned legions of imitators. 1967 / 111 min. Mandarin with English subtitles. Part of the series King Hu: Inspired by Taiwan, presented in conjunction with Yellow Mountain: China's Ever-Changing Landscape.

位於華府，擁有世界最大博物館體系的史密森尼博物館，本週將舉辦名導演胡金銓武俠片電影欣賞會。預定明天晚上七時首先播映「龍門客棧」，八日下午二時播映「俠女」。博物館體系下的佛利爾亞洲藝術館已在網站上刊出兩片的介紹。 這項電影欣賞會是由中華民國駐美代表處協辦。1997年逝世的胡金銓是首位被西方影評人推崇的華人導演，他的作品被籲為具高度現代電影風格，又充滿東方特色。 剛於五月底在華府雙橡園舉辦戶外星光影展的代表處表示，台灣新秀導演曾文珍執導的「等待飛魚」及李啟源執導的「巧克力重擊」，在星光影展獲得與會觀眾熱烈的回應及讚賞，而這項活動是雙橡園影展的延伸。 「龍門客棧」是胡金銓1967年的作品，片中令人驚嘆的武打場面據稱是由京劇中的音樂節奏得到靈感，已成為古典武俠電影的典範。台灣國際知名導演李安和蔡明亮都表示受該片影響啟發甚深。 胡金銓於1971年所拍的「俠女」更被譽為是他的代表作。他將神秘主義融入動作影片的創舉被譽為「提昇了武俠電影的境界」。電影敘述的是一名住在古宅的書生誤以為遇到鬼怪，故事曲折離奇。 胡金銓曾榮獲法國坎城影展最佳攝影獎，入圍過金棕櫚獎，國片金馬獎最佳導演、影片等殊榮，重要作品還包括「忠烈圖」、「空山靈雨」、「山中傳奇」等。 電影欣賞會的地點在佛利爾亞洲藝術館的梅爾大禮堂。代表處表示，影片為免費入場，歡迎各界人士踴躍前往觀賞。有意參與的民眾請上佛利爾亞洲藝術館網站預約免費電影票，或於開演前儘早赴現場索取入場券。 |
