Wikipedia description:

King Hu Jinquan (Chinese: 胡金銓, 29 April 1932 – 14 January 1997) was a Chinese filmmaker and actor, based in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He is known for directing various wuxia films in the 1960s and 1970s, which brought Hong Kong and Taiwanese cinema to new technical and artistic heights. His films Come Drink with Me (1966), Dragon Inn (1967), and A Touch of Zen (1970–1971) inaugurated a new generation of wuxia films in the late 1960s. The Harvard Film Archive described Hu as "one of the most influential and important Chinese directors in the history of cinema".
