Two Johnny To Projects to Be Screened in February
Moviegoers will soon have the chance to view the adeptness and proficiency of Johnny To's movie making skills, as he gets set to release two pictures based on different genres in the same month.
The drama film "Life Without Principle", set in the financial world and directed by Johnny To, will hit mainland cinemas on February 3. Johnny To's romance flick, "Romancing in Thin Air" is also due for release in February, a week later than "Life without Principle".
Media Asia Group, the production company behind "Life Without Principle", recently unveiled the promotional poster which has been tailor-made for the Mainland market.
"Life without Principle" stars Lau Ching-wan, Richie Ren, Ho Wan-shi and Myolie Wu. The film depicts the different attitudes of three characters with different occupations that bring them into contact with huge amounts of cash.
The film "Life Without Principle" was screened as an entry in the main competition section of the 2011 Venice International Film Festival.
In January, 2012, the Hong Kong Film Critics Society gave the Best Actor and Best Screenplay awards to "Life Without Principle" and named it one of seven highly-recommended movies from 2011.
