Kino Lorber have revealed that they will bring to Blu-ray the new 4K restoration of Hou Hsiao-hsien's Millennium Mambo (2001), starring Shu Qi and Doze Niu. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
A DCP (digital cinema package) of the new restoration is currently screening at the Metrograph in New York City.
Also included with this announcement is a new U.S. theatrical poster.
Description: A stylish and seductive submersion into the techno-scored neon nightlife of Taipei, Hou's much-misunderstood marvel stars Shu Qi (The Assassin) as an aimless bar hostess drifting away from her blowhard boyfriend and towards Jack Kao's suave, sensitive gangster. Structured as a flashback to the then-present from the then-future of 2011, it's a transfixing trance-out of a movie, drenched in club lights, ecstatic endorphin-rush exhilaration, and a nagging undercurrent of ennui.
