Join Dr. Sean Allan
in Maxwell Library for a screening and discussion of Hong Kong film Throw
Down, directed by Johnnie To.
“The
fates of three wandering souls--a former judo champion now barely scraping by
as an alcoholic bar owner (Louis Koo), a young fighter (Aaron Kwok) intent on
challenging him, and a singer (Cherrie Ying) chasing dreams of stardom--collide
in an operatic explosion... To… scrambles wild comedy, flights of
lyrical surrealism, and rousing martial-arts action into what is ultimately a
disarmingly touching ode to the healing power of friendship.” --Criterion
The
Asian Studies Film Series is open to the BSU Community and the public. Classes
