Description: Inspired by Bullet in the Head and co-produced by John Woo, Alexi Tan's star-studded debut feature weaves a classic tale of love, brotherhood, and betrayal in 1930s Shanghai. The closing film of the 64th Venice Film Festival, Blood Brothers brings together a dream cast of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland stars. Daniel Wu (Protege), Liu Ye (Curse of the Golden Flower), and Tony Yang (Ming Ming) serve as the core of the film, the trio of brothers whose souls are tested in the big city. The film also stars sexy Taiwanese actress Shu Qi (Confession of Pain), acclaimed Mainland actor Sun Honglei (Seven Swords), Mainland starlet Lulu Li (Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl), and arthouse favorite Chang Chen (The Go Master) as an opaquely cool assassin. Boasting big budget production values, Blood Brothers creates the aura of Old Shanghai with stylish cinematography and beautiful wardrobe and set design. A photographer by training, Tan has a certain flair for visuals, painting the romantic bloodshed and shoot-'em-up gunplay of yesteryear with a distinctly glossy sheen.Fung (Daniel Wu) and his best friends, brothers Kang (Liu Ye) and Hu (Tony Yang), leave the countryside together to make it big in Shanghai. Things aren't so easy in the city, however, and the brothers stumble and toil until opportunity brings them to Club Paradise and ruthless mob boss Hong (Sun Honglei). While Kang embraces his newfound power in the Shanghai triad, Fung and Hu are less comfortable with the crime and violence, sending the brothers slowly but surely down opposite paths. Fung falls for Hong's woman, sassy nightclub singer Lulu (Shu Qi) who is also involved with Hong's top henchman Mark (Chang Chen). When Hong catches scent of the betrayal, he sends Kang to finish off business, leading the brothers to meet at gunpoint on a cold Shanghai night.This edition comes with the following features:Interview with Producer John WooInterview with Cast and DirectorBehind-the-Scenes FootagePromotion FootageMaking Of DocumentaryMusic Clip
