Serendipity Cinema: (This is a Once A Week Feature) A Recommended Film You May Never Have Heard Of, But Really Ought To See. #3. Circle Of Iron (AKA The Silent Flute) A martial arts movie, for non-martial arts fans? Yes. It could be called the first Zen movie, with a philosophy that is so subtle that it is overt, so obscure that it is blatant. Written by Bruce Lee and James Coburn it was the project that might never have been made. But Lee's students put together the simple production in Isreal and peopled the cast with actors like David Carradine, Christopher Lee, Roddy MacDowell & Eli Wallach. If you get off your high horse and really let this one take you, you may be surprised at how far it can take you. But, it will be hard to find.
