To celebrate the life and work of Leslie Cheung, we¹ve programmed two of his best films on Memorial Day, May 26, 2003. If you¹re only familiar with his work in Farewell My Concubine, do yourself a favor and come see Leslie in the movies that made him famous.

At 8:30PM we¹ll be showing the Hong Kong classic, The Bride With White Hair (1993). Considered the ultimate romantic swordplay film, this movie stars Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin, and is filmed by Peter Pau, the cinematographer from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. One of Hong Kong¹s best-loved movies, this is a must-see for anyone who¹s ever wanted to check out what pitch perfect pop cinema can be.

Following THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR there will be a super-secret screening of one of Hong Kong¹s greatest movies ­ unseen in America for years. Movie fans, Hong Kong fans, and art fans will not be disappointed. So go ahead, take a risk and buy a ticket to one of Leslie Cheung¹s best movies, and a movie that you may never get to see on the big screen again.
