Review of The Butterfly Murders (1979) by Jubei Y — 16 Oct 2009
Hark Tsui's debut. So rough and so absurd, but still able to feel his passion on film making and wuxia novels. Cannot enjoy or understand if you don't have much knowledge about the world of wuxia.
Budget seems too small, while the scale of the story is too big. Hark's keen sense against film making can be seen in how he mixes so well the two genres, wuxia action and suspense, which seem not to be a good match.
It's still valuable for knowing Hark Tsui's origin.
