'Lust Caution' Star Tang Wei Returns in 'Crossing Hennessy'
Chinese actress Tang Wei and director Ivy Ho appeared at the Hong Kong International Film Festival for the Sunday-night premiere of their romantic comedy 'Crossing Hennessy.'
Attendees at the sold-out premiere clamored for photos and autographs of Ms. Tang, whose appearance is her first since she was blacklisted in China following her graphic sex scenes in Ang Lee's controversial espionage drama 'Lust Caution.'
Ms. Tang, a native of mainland China and a Mandarin speaker, drew applause from the audience when she displayed the considerable Cantonese-language skills she also demonstrates in the movie.
'Crossing Hennessy' is the story of a pair of lonely singles - Ms. Tang and Jacky Cheung, a no-show at the premiere - pushed together by their families. It is described by second-time director Ms. Ho as an exploration of the 'mysteries' of the human heart.
Also appearing at the premiere were co-stars Paw Hee-ching, who won best actress at last year's Hong Kong Film Awards for 'The Way We Are,' Chinese-American actor Andy On, and veteran Hong Kong actor Lowell Lo. 'Crossing Hennessy' opens for general release in Hong Kong on April 1.
