Synopsis

Freely inspired by the life of Yang-lu Chan, founder of one of the most influential forms of tai chi, Tai Chi 0 is an amazing and very entertaining combination of steampunk aesthetics and martial arts. Yang’s life is cursed by a bump protruding from his forehead, rousing mockery from all those around him. Wanting to stop the bump from growing to the point of being dangerous, he heads for a remote village to learn tai chi with Master Chen. Received with hostility by the locals, he will fail in all of his attempts to prove his worth. His last chance will be to destroy a steam engine that threatens to cross the village and extinguish its precious ecosystem.

Critics' reviews

"A martial-arts adventure with more video-game and comic-book DNA than the traditional kung fu flick, "Tai Chi Zero" is good, if empty-headed, fun (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
