Reviews/Synopsis
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please go to the following website for detailed information:

"https://letterboxd.com/film/the-golden-seal-1971/"

"A vicious, murderous brigand who wants the title treasure. A young man who wants to avenge his father's death. A girl who disguise herself as a boy. All this characters mixed in an adventure of intrigue, treachery and tragic triumph."


Tien Feng's debut film shows him to be really quite a good director, so it's odd that he apparently only ever directed one more film. It starts off as generically as it's possible for a wuxia film to be, but gets more interesting as it progresses, turning a done-a-million-times story into a satisfying experience by creating interesting characters. It's also well filmed and has some nice action choreography.

Ku Feng and Chan Shen give the best performances, as usual. Not up to the standard of the true classics, but definitely worth a watch.
