No more sex! A love strike until the men pipe water to the village. The men’s amused disdain turns to dismay then despair as the women’s apparently hopeless cause gathers support, making the village a laughing stock. When national newspaper journalist Sofiane arrives, the men of the village fear even greater humiliation. But Sofiane hasn’t come to report on the strike. He wants to win back his first love, Leila...

DOUBLE FIXATION Drama (96') Language: Cantonese Director: Yonfan Writer: Yonfan / Xiao Mei Producer: Lin Tsui Key Cast: Cherie CHUNG, Jacky CHEUNG, Pauline WONG Delivery Status: Completed Year of Production: 1987 Country of Origin: Hong Kong Hitchcock meets High Camp in Yonfan's black comedy, DOUBLE FIXATION. It is a mixture of mystery, murder, and mirth that is as much BRAZIL as VERTIGO. Asian audiences a quartercentury ago might not have been so "in" on the humor of a film so ahead of its time that DOUBLE FIXATION hasn't aged a bit in the intervening years. In one of his first major screen roles, music megastar Jacky Cheung plays a photographer madly in love with Cherie Chung -- she's so breathtakingly gorgeous but she's far more complex than he realizes, disappearing and reappearing in San Francisco. An added attraction is that the scene was shot on the actual San Francisco street where Kim Novak tormented James Stewart in VERTIGO. It all adds up to a unique '80s blend of Hong Kong and Hollywood, a stylistically Yonfan double fixation. BISHONEN Drama, Queer Interest (101') Language: Chinese Director: Yonfan Writer: Yonfan Executive Producer: Sylvia Chang Key Cast: Daniel WU, Stephen FUNG, SHU Qi, Terence YIN, Jason TSANG, Kenneth TSANG, CHIAO Chiao, CHEUNG Tat Ming Delivery Status: Completed Year of Production: 1998 Country of Origin: Hong Kong BISHONEN is perhaps the most talkedabout Yonfan movie, having been invited to over 40 international film festivals including Berlin, Toronto, London, Tokyo and named "Best Picture" in Milan. Yet when it was initially released in Hong Kong, BISHONEN was also the most censured. Produced by Sylvia Chang and narrated by Brigitte Lin, BISHONEN is the emotional travails of a handsome gigolo (Stephen Fung) and a hunky cop (played by Daniel Wu in his debut role), who is trying to come to terms with his sexuality. Extravagantly breathtaking and lavishly romantic, the film is considered to be one of Hong Kong’s most homo-erotic cinematic statements.

The story centers on a phoenix coronet, a crown worn by aristocratic ladies in ancient China, connecting two Chinese women belonging to different eras and different classes.

They recorded an album that they believed was going to secure his reputation as one of the greatest recording artists of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it became a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez.

Orphaned in the canals of Venice, young Polo did not meet his merchant father until he was 17, soon joining him on his travels along the dangerous Silk Road east. Conscripted into the court of Kublai Khan, the most feared and powerful ruler on earth. Polo was trained in languages, archery, Mongolian horsemanship, and the exotic weaponry of China--all part of his grooming to become emissary and spy for the Emperor Khan. Navigating as many dangers within the imperial court as on the Silk Road and beyond, Marco Polo finds himself torn between cultures--and fathers--as he gathers the maps and accounts that would one day inspire Columbus. In an exotic world of forbidden concubines, warring dynasties, and imperial intrigue, Marco Polo finds himself growing ever closer to the most powerful man on earth--much to the concern of Khan's own family. Featuring the fantastical martial arts styles of 13th Century China--never before seen on American television--Marco Polo is a thrilling epic inspired by the Venetian's own accounts.
