As we anticipate the screenings of Pang Ho-cheung‘s dark comic film ‘The Exodus’ during TIFF it is always nice to whet appetites with images now and again. I found 3 posters for his film over at 24Framespersecond and while I think the first two really express what Pang is attempting in his film I clearly cannot tell you what is happening in the third one. I guess I will have to tell if I can squeeze in a screening of the film next week when I join the rest of the guys for the festival.
Yuan is a poor and quiet girl from Taiwan who got married and settled down in Hong Kong. However, her marriage was soon over and she is separated from her husband Bing. One day, Bing goes missing and the police looks for Yuan to record statement. Ye is a policeman who happens to be involved in an earlier case where Bing is caught for peeping in the washroom. Bing had earlier explained to Ye that he had discovered an incredible secret: a lot of women were planning secretly to destroy men and they were exchanging their ideas in the washroom. Ye was feeling bizarre about the whole case, as whenever he found some evidence, they would go missing at a blink! Ye soon developed feelings for Yuan and the both soon discovered that Bing was killed because he knew too much about the secret organization. The both are in danger too…

Sorry gang. I'm still trying to figure out some of the bells and whistles on our new publishing program. We'll get that gallery up in no time...
I actually prefer the third poster. It is not as graphic as the other two yet still illustrates the basic plot of the film.
Here's a longer trailer on the San Sebastian Festival website:
