Chinese Film Festival

Event :

Join the Shenzhen Asian Culture Society in celebrating a full month of Chinese Film Festival starting on September 26th.

The first film featured is "The Emperor and The Assassin", 1999, by director Chen Kaige, 161 min, R-rated.

Below is the Synopsys:

THE EMPEROR AND THE ASSASSIN is an epic in scope and much more historically relevant than the Chinese government may believe. The film explores the devastating price one country pays for peace and one man pays for power.
Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, has one driving ambition: to unify China's seven kingdoms into one magnificent empire. Impressed by her lover's convictions, Lady Zhao (Gong Li) helps Ying Zheng concoct an assassination plot that would justify the conquest of Qin's most powerful enemy. When Ying Zheng's peaceful mission explodes into a brutal holocaust, a disillusioned Lady Zhao is forced to question her loyalty as well as her lover's destiny.

This movie was beautifully-filmed with luscious cinematography supported by stellar performances, don't miss it!
