空山靈雨 Raining in the Mountain

1979 / HK, Taiwan / 35mm / Color / 120min

本片與《山中傳奇》於同一年在韓國完成，展現導演高度美學運鏡技巧，故事敘述明朝中葉三寶寺住持智嚴自知圓寂將至，遂安排選拔衣缽弟子。僧俗人等窺伺鎮寺佛經已久，各懷鬼胎，智嚴因此將衣缽傳給剃度不久的流犯邱明，卻使邱明成為眾矢之的。本片拷貝取得不易，少有公開放映的機會。此次為30週年映演，拷貝遠從法國調度而來。

In the middle of Ming Dynasty, an abbot realizes he’s going to die soon. So he starts to look for his heir among his disciples. However, he chooses an ex-convict Ming Qiu, who has become a Buddhist monk not long ago. Now, Ming Qiu becomes the target of all those who covet for the most well-known Buddhist scripture in the monastery. He takes the responsibility to guard the scripture. At last, he burns it to keep it away from the evil.
