MUBI x People’s Forum presents: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
As part of Farida Sedoc’s People’s Forum, MUBI will host a screening of the iconic Kung-fu flick, The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin, from Hong Kong—famously sampled by the Wu-Tang Clan.
Martial arts movies don’t get more iconic than this kung fu masterpiece from director Lau Kar-leung, produced by the Shaw Brothers. With an acute focus on the disciplines of combat, it’s the ultimate training film, as Gordon Liu’s apprentice eschews the path of vengeance for one of grace and spiritual self-determination.
