SHADOW
(China)
This event has passed.
Award-winning director Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers) once again pushes boundaries to create a swordplay epic like no other. In an empire ruled by a wild and dangerous young king (Zheng Kai) whose court is a hive of politicking and treachery, the monarch’s brave military commander (Deng Chao) has cultivated a secret weapon to aid his survival: a “shadow,” a lookalike who can fool both his enemies and the king himself as the commander prepares for a dangerous final assault against the forces of a rival kingdom. (d: Zhang Yimou, China, 116 min)
