synopsis
En 1457, un groupe de swordsmen errants se rassemble à l’auberge du Dragon Gate, près de la frontière nord de la Chine, où la police secrète impériale les attend. S’ensuit une féroce bataille de stratégie et d’escrime, transformant l’auberge en un champ de bataille pour la justice et la survie.
Dragon Inn is to the martial arts genre what Stagecoach is to the Western. Hu evokes an entire world in his awe-inspiring wide-angle camerawork and graceful, still-unpredictable action scenes.

Like most action filmmakers, Hu gets little credit for his direction of actors. But in each of his films he finds in his cast’s idiosyncratic expressions, their artful containment and deployment of energy, a beautiful counterpoint to his own stylistic flourishes – a mortal dimension to ground his metaphysical flights.
