THE 8 DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER
Lau Kar-leung Hong Kong, 1984
A drastic break with his usual semi-comic tone, 8 Diagram Pole Fighter is the bleakest of any of Lau’s works. It’s also the most unnatural in language and performance, perhaps because of its older setting (almost all his other films are set during the Qing Dynasty), or the heightened nature of its story.
