Roman Polanski, Stanley Kubrick, Ernst Lubitsch Restored Classics to Unspool at Hong Kong Film Festival – Global Bulletin
variety.comErnst Lubitsch, Stanley Kubrick and Roman Polanski are among eight older titles set to play at next month’s Hong Kong International Film Festival.
Lubitsch’s 1920 farce “Kohlhiesel’s Daughters,” will be presented with a live music accompaniment by the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble.
And, despite rumors to the contrary, Kubrick’s first feature, “Fear and Desire,” has been preserved intact and will play at the festival with nine minutes of previously deleted footage.
It forms an anti-war pair with Polanski’s 2000 Nazi occupation tale “The Pianist.” Others selected include Michelangelo Antonioni‘s “Il Grido”; Manoel d’Oliveira’s “Madame Bovary” adaptation “Abraham’s Valley”; Arturo Ripstein’s director’s cut of “Deep Crimson,” restored in 4K with an additional 25 minutes of content; Jacques Rivette’s “L’Amour Fou”; and “The Dupes,” by Tewfik Saleh. Screentime New Zealand will adapt hit property format “Location, Location, Location” in association with AA Insurance.
