We have some more information about Dangerous Liaisons today…
The original novel indeed was banned. However, the novel doesn’t just cover matters concerning a love. It has more deep meanings. We interpret the novel’s humanism from a new angle. It will be the most ‘clean’ adaptation of the novel ever.
Dangerous Liaisons will be released on September 27th in China.
Thanks to Sina we can enjoy three new gorgeous posters of the film featuring Zhang Ziyi as Du Fenyu, Jiang Dong-Gun as Xie Yifan and Cecilia Cheung as Mo Jieyu.
What an exciting news! Hur Jin-ho’s film “Dangerous Liaisons” will be screened at “La quinzaine des Réalisateurs” (17 May – 27 May) during the Cannes Film Festival.
Among the various sections at the Cannes Film Festival, the Directors’ Fortnight is distinguished by its independent-mindedness, its non-competitive nature and its concern to cater to non-professional Cannes audiences, which can buy a subscription for the entire Fortnight program or purchase tickets for individual screenings.
I invite you to take a look at the official page of the Directors’ Fortnight.
Let’s hope that our favourite actress will spend some time in France during the festival! Rendez-vous in May.
Thanks to the press conference held in Tsinghua University auditorium, we have some information about the film.
The shooting took place into the Tsinghua University campus. Some students of the university join the cast during the shooting. The script of the film has been changed several times during the shooting (even 20 minutes before the shooting) but the plot of the film remains quite mysterious. But what we know is that the main subject is the youth. Director Li Fangfang was tight-lipped but she revealed that she showed the script to the actors and let them choose their own role. The shooting in Beijing has been completed, the crew will shoot soon to the Yunnan. Shooting should be completed in September.
Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Huang Xiaoming played four students who harbour dreams of Tsinghua. Zhang Ziyi played a student and seemed to enjoy her “friendly” character and the stress-free shooting.
