EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED CONTEMPORARY URBAN CINEMA FROM HONG KONG'S MILKYWAY IMAGE PRODUCTIONS September 15-17, 2000 at the Anthology Film Archives, New York

Johnnie To	Hong Kong is known for action movies, and Milkyway Image is the studio that finally deconstructed them and made beautiful entertainment out of the spare parts. Endlessly innovative, Milkyway was founded in 1996, turning out 12 movies in four years under the leadership of producer/director Johnnie To (THE HEROIC TRIO). With their blistering visuals, go-for-broke nihilism, genre-busting narratives, and trance-inducing soundtracks these movies will sear themselves into your brain and leave you begging for more.
Almost always starring the ever-impressive Lau Ching-Wan (recently named one of Variety's "Ten Actors To Watch") each movie features a fistful of career-making performances by Hong Kong's best actors, and enough fashion sense and gun-toting cool to make your head spin off and spiral across the room.

In this retrospective, Subway Cinema presents seven of Milkyway's most representative works, from 1997 to 2000.	FILMS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED A HERO NEVER DIES LONGEST NITE THE MISSION RUNNING OUT OF TIME SPACKED OUT TOO MANY WAYS TO BE NO.1
