Sword Master
Directed by Derek Yee Tung-Sing
Produced by Bona Film Group, Film Unlimited Production Company
A melancholic martial arts film about a weary swordmaster seeking peace but drawn back into violence, balancing existential weariness with action spectacle.
Weary of the bloodshed and violence from the martial arts world, a powerful swordsman banishes himself to the humble life a vagrant, wandering the fringes of society. But his violent past refuses to let him go quietly. The master swordsman must regain the ability to wield his sword and fight those disrupting the peace he so desperately craves.
