"The
Curse of the Golden Flower"
In "Curse of the Golden Flower" Zhang Yimou achieves
a kind of operatic delirium, opening the floodgates of image and
melodrama until the line between tragedy and black comedy is all
but erased. Bathed in thick, primary colors and Shigeru Umebayashis
thumping musical score, "Curse of the Golden Flower"
is more lurid and less romantic than the director's previous martial-arts
dramas, but its path to destruction is paved with visual gold.
This is decidedly Zhang Yimou's most fun film so far. RMB50. In
English with Chinese subtitles.
8pm, March 16-17. Cherrylane Movies. For details call 135 0125

 DJ
ATB @ Tang Club
Few international artists who create their own style manage to
make each of their songs sound different. Andre Tanneberger, however,
manages to give each of his tracks its own spirit while still
surprising fans and always remaining ATB. That is exactly what
it takes to make an internationally successful producer. On the
international dance scene, ATB is without a doubt an example of
this type of producer and artist. 8pm-4am, March 15. Tang Club

Film:
"Beijing Bastards (docu-fiction)"
This film is a free-form portrait of rock-generation
kids in the city in the early 90s. "Beijing Bastards"
takes its cue from the stark realism of Italian neo-realism and
the edgy artistry of American independents to present an unadorned
vision of Beijing's alcohol-swilling, slam-dancing, cursing, sex-crazed
teenagers and underground rock stars. Strung together by the songs
of Chinese rock pioneer and star of the film, Cui Jiang, the docu-fiction
unfurls in a series of aimless and jumpy vignettes following the
lives of a rock band and their friends. March 23-24, 2007, 8:00PM.
