Green Snake (Hark, 1993): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6.20pm
This presentation, which also screens on September 12th, is part of the Maggie Cheung season at BFI Southbank is an opportunity to catch the big-screen outing of this rarely shown, colourful, sensuous fairytale.
BFI introduction:
In what is probably Maggie Cheung’s most intriguing and wild film, she plays
Green Snake, a demon spirit who has been training to take the form of a
human woman. However, once she walks the earth, her accompanying sister
spirit White Snake falls in love with a man. Ridiculously fun, the film
gives Cheung a fabulous role, which finds her slithering, scathing and
seducing with no small amount of allure.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
