‘The Grandmaster’ Hits Theaters
By Dean Napolitano
After more than a decade in the making, Wong Kar-wai’s ‘The Grandmaster’ finally makes its premiere.
Wait no more.
Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai’s long-anticipated epic “The Grandmaster,” starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai as the legendary real-life martial-arts master Ip Man, opens this week in China and Hong Kong. The film also stars Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen.
Mr. Wong — the director of such films as “Days of Being Wild,” “Happy Together” and “In the Mood for Love” — devoted nearly a decade on preparation for “The Grandmaster,” which spent almost three years in production. The famously meticulous filmmaker appeared at a press conference with his cast on Sunday night in Beijing, where the film held its world premiere.
Mr. Wong said the film, which runs well over two hours, “could have last four hours, but I deleted a lot of scenes,” according to a report from Agence France-Presse.
The movie, set during China’s turbulent political and social period of the 1930s, is in both Mandarin and Cantonese.
International audiences will have to wait a bit longer before getting a first peek. “The Grandmaster” will open next month’s 63rd Berlin International Film Festival, where Mr. Wong is this year’s jury president. _________________ "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
