In the absence of hollywood blockbusters this summer at the cinema, it's Donnie Yen who has the daunting task of bringing a little action to the audience in French. Ip Man 4 is required as THE action film to see this summer. It is the point on the film and the critics.

[updated the 22 July 2020 at 9h41] Distributed in France by the independent Eurozoom who works tirelessly to make us discover the cinema from Asia, Ip Man 4 marks the end of the saga worn by Donnie Yen since 2008. In these films, he plays Ip Man, the grand master of wing chun, a chinese martial art, which is none other than the teacher of Bruce Lee. Ip Man 4 : The Last Fight might be the last film of the saga, it is also the first to see the light of day in cinemas in France ! Also, be aware that it is not necessary to have seen the previous films to enjoy the fourth episode since the various stories are relatively independent of each other. In this fourth installment, Ip Man travels to the United States in the hope of getting his son, turbulent, but he is quickly caught in a battle of ego on racism between G. I. american practitioner of karate and the masters of kung-fu from the chinese diaspora.
