Cannes 1975: Technical Grand Prize
«Wunderschöne, der chinesischen Malerei nachempfundene Landschaftsaufnahmen, die in der neuen Restaurierung schlicht atemberaubend wirken, durchziehen den ganzen Film. Eines der grossen Meisterwerke der Filmgeschichte.» Dominic Schmid, Filmbulletin
«Hus Meisterwerk aber ist ‚Ein Hauch von Zen‘: Die atemlos gebannte Jury in Cannes übergab ihm den Technik-Grand-Prix. Obwohl der Film auf einer Gespenstergeschichte beruht, ist er hochphilosophisch. Das Genialste war, dass Hu die Vorlage um die für ihn so signifikanten furiosen Martial-Arts-Kämpfe erweiterte: Die noch heute unübertroffene Sequenz im Wald machte ihn zum wichtigsten Wegbereiter des Actionkinos Asiens. Fazit: Einzigartiger Klassiker: ein Meilenstein des Genres.» Cinema
