A pulpy, fetishistic thriller, Red Nights marks the startling directorial debut of Julien Carbon and Laurent Courtiaud, best known as the screenwriting team behind Hong Kong director Johnnie To’s thriller Running Out of Time. Red Nights also boasts the long-overdue return of Hong Kong starlet Carrie Ng, famous for her sexy and deadly presence in such films as Naked Killer and Sex and Zen. Here she revels in her role as the jade-clawed Dragon Lady, equal parts seductress and psycho-sexual killer.

A box containing a white jade seal rumoured to have belonged to China’s first Emperor falls into the hands of Catherine (Frédérique Bel), a mistress who takes the valuable artifact to Hong Kong in the hopes of selling it. In Hong Kong, Carrie (Carrie Ng), a wealthy patron of the arts, mounts a production of The Jade Emperor – the tale of the first Emperor’s executioner, who used a deadly poison to paralyze his victims while simultaneously enhancing their sensations. Carrie is single-mindedly obsessed with finding this ancient poison. When it becomes apparent that the white jade seal contains a vial of the elixir, Catherine finds herself caught in Carrie’s sadistic web, where bliss and pain are blurred into a twisted, forbidden ecstasy.

Exquisitely photographed by Ng Man-ching – who shot Infernal Affairs II & III – the film’s dazzling visual palette bathes a seductive world of secrets in rich, crimson light. After regaling the Midnight Madness crowd with their scores for Martyrs and Eden Log, French composers Seppuku Paradigm lift the film to another level with evocations of Ennio Morricone and the mod universe of sixties, Euro-spy thrillers.

A bittersweet fortune cookie of murder and deceit, Red Nights inhabits a mysterious realm where Italian giallo and espionage thrillers coexist with the exoticism of the Far East. (Colin Geddes)

Dat is een film die ik nog niet gezien heb, eigenlijk omdat ik verwacht dat hij té onnozel gaat zijn :e007:

Nah, op de schaal van F.C. De Kampioenen is een goeie zes. Onnozel maar de film is bewust van zijn eigen onnozelheid.

Er is een paar jaar geleden naar het schijnt een remake geweest van de film en die was zo slecht dat hij zelfs niet uitgebracht is geweest.

Door deze foto's heb ik nu zin om hem te kijken :P

DOEN! Je moet natuurlijk geen Terrence Malick verwachten maar het is supergrappige kolder! Ik heb hem al aan verschillende mensen laten zien en iedereen lag dicht dicht van het lachen.

Je gaat hem wel moeten downloaden via een Torrent want hij is nergens te verkrijgen. Ik ben al een paar jaar naar hem op zoek op DVD maar noppes.
