The new DANGEROUS LIAISONS Feb 12

[eiknarf]

Dangerous Liaisons Blu-ray

Anybody seeing the new Asian Dangerous Liaisons, with Zhang Ziyi and Cecilia Cheung?

I found a few theatrical release dates

May 24, 2012 (Cannes - Directors' Fortnight)
September 27, 2012 (China)
October 11, 2012
November 9th, 2012 (USA)

so maybe there will be an ALL REGION Blu-ray I can import pretty soon (instead of waiting for the USA Blu-ray four months from now)

I want to see this badly, but it's closest theatrical play is 50 miles away.

Read about this movie some months ago, just check my theater listing and nothing. No surprise I did not expect anyone to show this in Montreal. Here people only want to see (the masses) mindless 3D blockbusters or the local movies made by French Canadians.

I will get the Blu-ray later on, have a few that I want to import from Asia anyway

I'll import it too.

I figure the China Blu-ray may be region free and should be available around January 2013... meanwhile, the USA Bluray probably wont be available until March 2013.

This was screened at TIFF in September, with the stars appearing for the premier. I couldn't see it then. I had thought about seeing it this weekend, but the lukewarm reviews have discouraged me. Probably end up waiting for the disc to rent at home.

NEWS/TRAILER

Independent distributors Well Go USA have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray Chinese-Korean director Hur Jin-Ho's Dangerous Liaisons (2012), a lavish new adaptation of the popular novel by French writer Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. The film stars Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Jang Dong-gun (My Way) and Cecilia Cheung (Running on Karma, One Nite in Mongkok). Street date is February 12th.

Aging socialite Mo Jieyu (Cecilia Cheung) still finds herself circling ex-boyfriend Xie Yifan (Jang Dong-kun). Even after years of separation, their attraction - and appetites - smolder just beneath the surface. Mo, the rich and charming widow with a taste for indulgence and sensuous pleasures, still has eyes for famous womanizer Xie, who secretly burns with love for her. And yet, in his luxurious life, Xie's new interest lies in chaste humanitarian Du Fenyu (Ziyi Zhang), who has captured his attention and earned his desire for conquest. Mo lures Xie into a treacherous, dangerous game of hearts: win, bed, and leave Du, proving his mettle as a rogue and impossible catch. But can Xie take the honor of such a woman, without losing his own heart, as well? As war looms in Shanghai, can Xie win Mo's seductive game? Can he choose between these two women? Where will such a triangle lead them all? In matters of the heart, and in this city, there may be no difference between love and war.

蛮不错的! I loved Zhang Ziyi in The Road Home and obviously in Crouching Tiger. I wish they would bring The Road Home to Blu I study Chinese almost daily (I even have an account on Renren ) and I only own 1 Chinese film so far

I wouldnt mind Jasmine Woman or Purple Butterfly coming to Blu either

Saw this recently and was a bit disappointed. Surprisingly, I found Cecilia Cheung (whom I normally dislike) most enjoyable in her role. Jang Dong Gun is just a little too. . .nice. . .as the schemer. This is the fourth filmed version of the novel I've seen and I still like Stephen Frears' version the best.

It already dropped $3.00 from $29.00 to $26.00 since it was available for preorder just three days ago

Yes, I'm becoming quite fond of Zhang Yimou's films. I've also seen Ju Dou (shot in Technicolor) and Raise the Red Lantern, both casting Gong Li and they are excellent, although very depressing.
