Film: Heavenly Kings
 New Asia Cinema


Wednesday, November 4
 School of Management Rm. 137   7:00 pm
Free and open to the public.
 Director: Daniel Wu
Hong Kong, 2006
Cantonese with English subtitles
83 minutes

Taking its name from the pantheon of the top four Cantopop stars (themselves tagged after Buddhist deities), California-born Hong Kong superstar Daniel Wu’s entertaining directorial debut is a mockumentary--or popumentary--about the formation of a boyband called “Alive.” Playfully bounding along, the film offers some real insights into the state of contemporary pop music, media industries, and stardom/celebrity.
