The Equation of Love & Death
Directed by: Cao Baoping
Tuesday, June 23 - Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Powered by nothing more than Zhou Xun’s intense perfromance, this twisty daylight noir hits like a spike of Shanghai white injected right into your aorta. Zhou Xun drops her public persona as a fashionable superstar to play a nail-chewing, obsessive compulsive cab driver desperately searching for her missing boyfriend. With a story that eats its own tail, it’s a movie full of madmen and villains, heroes and cops who, in the end, all become each others’ victims.
