According to the New York Times’ Manohla Dargis, if Johnnie To “were an American, his name would fall from lips as easily as Martin Scorsese’s.” This masterful director of more than fifty films, including such classics as Election and PTU, has never applied his signature fluid camerawork to a full-blown musical . . . until now.
Based on Design for Living, a popular stage play by Sylvia Chang (who stars in the movie alongside the eternally suave Chow Yun-fat), Office depicts the ups and downs—romantic and financial—of a financial firm’s staff during 2008’s global economic turmoil. Full of sparkling song and dance numbers performed in an abstract set of glass walls and tubes of light, this “visually inventive romp . . . charmingly mines humor, romance and no shortage of eccentric lyrics from the world of spreadsheets and stock portfolios” (Justin Chang, Variety). (Dir.: Johnnie To, Hong Kong/China, 2015, 117 min., DCP, Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles, 3D)
Cost:
Admission is first-come, first-served. Auditorium doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
