(3)Loving Leslie: A Tribute to Leslie CheungJoin us at USC this Saturday, September 10, to celebrate the work of this gifted young man by enjoying two of his best films, the smart and sexy Okinawa-Rendezvous* directed by Gordan Chan(Fist of Legend, Beast Cops) and Chen Kaige's masterful epic, Farewell My Concubine.Presented by Asian Film Foundation and USC Cinema & Television (Critical Studies), in association with Miramax Films, Maggi Taste of Asia, and Tai Seng Entertainment**12:00 PM"Okinawa Rendezvous"-----------------------From the director of "Fist Of Legend," "Beast Cop" and "Jiang Hu: The Triad Zone," "Okinawa" is a delightful romantic comedy that's often overlooked when one thinks of Leslie Cheung as he also shares the lavish resort setting with comic genius Tony Leung-Ka-fai and the lithe Faye Wong. A mind-bending mix of relationship musical chairs, criminals on the lam and mistaken identities as department file clerk (Leung) decides to close a case by himself by setting up lady-killer criminal Cheung.[Produced and directed by Gordon Chan; Cast: Tony Leung Ka-fai, Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing, Faye Wong, Gigi Lai, Vincent Kok and Stephanie Che] (2000, 35mm color, 99 min)In Cantonese, Japanese and English with English subtitles.**2 p.m.Light Refreshments by Maggi Taste of Asia and Charity Function**3 p.m."Farewell My Concubine"----------------------This film needs no introduction. Even if you've seen it on DVD, there is no substitute for seeing Leslie's exquisite longing reflected from a dressing room mirror on the big screen. Spanning five decades of turbulent Chinese history, FAREWELL is a visually stunning yet intimate chronicle of two boys raised under the strict all-male cult known as the Peking Opera system as they struggle with success, history, gender and the woman who comes between them. Leslie is luminous in this film.[Directed by Chen Kaige; Cast: Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing, Fengyi Zhang, Gong Li] (1993, 35mm color, 172 min) In Mandarin with English subtitlesTickets:Tickets will also be available day of event at the door: General admission $10; Students/Seniors $8Advance tickets:Tickets are now on-sale via paypal.
