Series at Metrograph
In connection to Metrograph’s theatrical run of Wei Shujun’s Only the River Flows, an intensely atmospheric, absorbing new detective thriller in which a police investigation in 1990s rural China reveals the hidden secret life of a community, In Pursuit of Shadows offers an overview of some of the most magnificent noir-inflected policiers to come out of East Asia from the 1940s to the present day, with standout works from Johnnie To, Park Chan-wook, Wong Kar-wai, Bong Joon-ho, and Kurosawas Akira and Kiyoshi. A program of hot pursuits and neon nights, touching down in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and other ports of call.
