Top 5 films to watch in Hong Kong this week: August 13-19

A Touch of Zen

One of the best Chinese-language movies ever made, this mystical wuxia classic from 1971 is presented in a newly restored print that King Hu's sublime vision deserves.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Guy Ritchie brings style and humour to his first-rate adaptation of the 1960s American TV show, which puts Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer's opposing spies in an action-packed rivalry.

Attack on Titan

Man-eating giants roam the land in this loose adaptation of the bestselling comic — a nightmarish mix of zombie horror and disaster spectacle tightly packaged to offer the greatest thrills.

The Passenger

Tentatively a psychological drama, Michelangelo Antonioni's 1975 classic explores identity, alienation and destiny to unforgettable ends.
