COMING SOON
CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER (December 25)
Zhang Yimou's epic wraps Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li in miles of crackling gold decor and sets them at each others' throat as the world's most dysfunctional Imperial family.
TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER (January 12)
Film Forum hosts the victory lap of Thai auteur, Wisit Sasantieng's, first movie, the eye-popping TEARS, bought by Miramax in 2001 and locked away ever since. Kudos to Magnolia for setting it free.
A TASTE OF TEA (February 9)
2005's landslide winner of the New York Asian Film Festival's Audience Award hits the ImaginAsian and it's about time. This amazing movie will blow your mind and electrify your heart with its tale of a family in rural Japan. Trains emerge from heads, a poo ghost appears, 50ft doppelgangers skulk and stare and a sunflower eats the world in a movie Time Out New York calls "a masterpiece"

CLANS OF INTRIGUE (1977, Hong Kong, 99 minutes)
Tuesday, December 5 @ 6:50pm, 9:15pm
Chor Yuen made a lot of good movies, but few are as good as CLANS where a gay blade lounges on his pimped-out pleasure barge until a grotty murder case brings him back in from the cold and he has to go up against lesbian death goddesses and transsexual ninjas. Starts happy and pretty, ends bleak and bloody.
THE BOXER FROM SHANTUNG (1972, Hong Kong)
Wednesday, December 6 @ 6:50pm, 9:30pm
A terrorist attack from Chang Cheh, marinated in machismo. This flick was Chen Kuan-tai's first movie and while it launched his career it's Shaw stalwart, David Chiang, who eats up the screen as a natty little gang boss who pauses to adjust his cigarette holder, straighten his suit, and give a little-boy grin before strolling into an ambush to meet his maker. A little slow moving at first, by the time you reach the final reel you'll have the meaning of the phrase "apocalyptic bloodbath" totally redefined.

DHOOM 2 (India, 2006, 160 minutes)

INFERNAL AFFAIRS (2002, Hong Kong, 101 minutes)
Sunday, December 3 @ 2pm
THE DEPARTED may have had powerhouse stars doing great work but the source film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS, has it beat in every department. More morally compromised, tenser and basically a lean, mean plot heavy machine you owe it to yourself to check out this thriller that busted open the box office across the Pacific.
