Abstract
The kung fu genre and Shaw Brothers studio gave Lau Kar-leung all the tools and resources he needed to create an exhilarating body of work that celebrates the beauty and transformative qualities of martial arts, in all their varied forms. Lau pushes the boundaries of the four walls of the frame in creating images that explode with colour, movement and rhythm. His tenure as director at Shaw Brothers from the mid-’70s to mid-’80s is a case study of the relatively rare symbiosis that can occur between auteur, genre and studio, given the right set of circumstances.
