SECRET LOVE IN PEACH BLOSSOM LAND (Movie)

I cannot understand mandarin! Im a banana.. however, even this ignoramus banana, found the following Stan Lai film amazing.

Anyway, Monday nights are movie nights at the Annexe Gallery (Central Market KL).
'Secret Love In Peach Blossom Land' is a Taiwanese film written and directed by Stan Lai, featuring Christopher Doyle as director of photography. When two opposing acting groups fight for the same rehearsal space, a comical situation emerges. One group is practicing a somewhat slapstick satire, the other a contemporary political romantic tragedy. They could not be more different or worlds apart from each other.
However,as the story unfolds, and the desperate acting troupes divide up the stage, the way Stan Lai merges the two dialogs makes the show magical. The style and the angles employed for shooting this movie are nothing shot of genius.

Go watch!
