Australian label Imprint Films has informed us that it will add three new Asian titles, part of the famous Golden Princess library, to its catalog in February. They are: City on Fire (1987), Peking Opera Blues (1986), and A Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy (1987-1991).
Imprint Films will also add to its catalog the following three titles: Farewell My Concubine (1993), Lust, Caution (2007), and Tai Chi Zero (2012).
CITY ON FIRE
City On Fire (1987) is the first Golden Princess title to join the Imprint Asia collection!
This exclusive SteelBook is housed in a Limited Edition Hardbox, with a 60-page hardcover booklet featuring brand NEW essays by authors / film critics Camille Zaurin and Walter Chaw. Rediscover the classic 80s action/crime-drama fully restored from the original camera negative, in Dolby Vision on 4K Blu-ray, and on Blu-ray, loaded with Special Features.
Starring Chow Yun-Fat (Hard Boiled, A Better Tomorrow) and Danny Lee (The Killer), this sizzling, gritty film was directed by Ringo Lam (Full Contact, Prison On Fire, Maximum Risk).
Ko Chow is an undercover cop torn between his duty as a police officer and his loyalty to his friends on the wrong side of the law. He wants out – and his commanding officer, Inspector Lau, reluctantly approves his resignation – but only after he completes one final assignment. Tasked with infiltrating a notorious gang of criminals, Chow forms a bond with their leader, building a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. But when a planned heist turns into a violent shootout with the law, the tension among the thieves heats up… and they begin to suspect there is an informant in their midst.
PEKING OPERA BLUES
The classic Golden Princess action-comedy Peking Opera Blues (1986) joins the Imprint Asia library!
This exclusive SteelBook is housed in a Limited Edition Hardbox, with a 60-page hardcover booklet featuring brand NEW essays by artist / film essayist Darren Wheeling and film scholar Wayne Wong. Rediscover the classic film, fully restored from the original camera negative, in Dolby Vision on 4K Blu-ray, and on Blu-ray, loaded with Special Features.
Director Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time In China, Twin Dragons, Double Team) and stars Brigitte Lin (Police Story), Cherie Chung (Once A Thief), and Sally Yeh (The Killer) light up the screen in this fast-paced and sparkling action-comedy.
In the aftermath of China's first democratic revolution, three high-spirited young women from very different backgrounds cross paths on a quest for liberation. Fate finds the three joining forces to discover their respective warriors within.
Elegantly blending action, comedy, and social satire into a bright and colorful production (much like Peking Opera itself), Peking Opera Blues boasts Hark's energetic filmmaking style at the height of his powers, along with the considerable charms of its three leads, and remains an acclaimed classic of Hong Kong cinema.
A CHINESE GHOST STORY
The cult classic Golden Princess horror trilogy comes to Imprint Asia!
This exclusive 3-disc Blu-ray SteelBook is housed in a Limited Edition Hardbox, with a 60-page hardcover booklet featuring brand NEW essays by film critic / author David Chew and film historian Samm Deighan.
Producer Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time In China) brought supernatural fantasy back to the big screen with A Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy, an acclaimed series of films that has left a lasting worldwide impression on ghostly cinema and ghoulish tales.
Featuring performances from Leslie Cheung (Farewell My Concubine), Joey Wang (Casino Tycoon), Jacky Cheung (Bullet In The Head), and Tony Leung (Hard Boiled), A Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy is a must-have for your collection of Hong Kong Cinema Classics, finally all restored from 4K scans of the original camera negatives.
FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE
Director Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine is a breathtaking opus of intimate passion, unbridled colour, and the timeless frailty of love – now joining Imprint Asia on 4K Blu-ray with brand NEW Dolby Vision grading in a Limited Edition Hardbox.
Two boys meet at an opera training school in Peking in 1924. Their resulting friendship will span nearly 70 years and endure some of the most troublesome times in China's history.
Starring Leslie Cheung, Zhang Fengyi, and Imprint favourite Gong Li, this masterpiece of filmmaking is considered a landmark entry in Chinese cinema, remaining the only Chinese-language film to be awarded the Palme d'Or, and is named as one of the 100 Best Films in Global History by Time Magazine.
LUST, CAUTION
Renowned director Ang Lee brought Eileen Chang's 1979 novella to the big screen in 2007 with Lust, Caution, awarded the 2007 Golden Lion for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival.
During World War II, when Shanghai was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army and ruled by its puppet government, a group of students plot to assassinate a high-ranking official, Mr. Yee, using a honey trap. Wang Jia Zhi, posing as a seductress, is drawn into a dangerous game that will ultimately determine her fate.
TAI CHI ZERO
From the creators of Ip Man and Detective Dee comes the martial arts epic Tai Chi Zero!
Lu Chan, a gifted young martial artist, arrives in the legendary Chen Village seeking to learn Chen-style Tai Chi but is rejected by the villagers. But when a figure from their past returns, threatening to destroy the village with a steam-powered machine and a railroad project, Lu Chan becomes the village's last hope.
The winner of multiple accolades at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Tai Chi Zero is action-packed insanity starring Tony Leung Ka-fai, Angelababy, and Jayden Yuan.
