John Woo

Four newly 4K-restored pre-Hollywood offerings from the visionary pioneer of Hong Kong action cinema, one of the leading lights of the hugely influential “heroic bloodshed” genre that transformed action cinema into a balletic, hyper-kinetic art. His blending of stylized violence (slow-motion shootouts, Mexican stand-offs…), operatic emotion and themes of loyalty, brotherhood and honour left an indelible mark on the modern action blockbuster.
