Film: Heavenly Kings
Taking its name from the pantheon of the top four Canto pop stars (themselves tagged after Buddhist deities), California-born Hong Kong superstar Daniel Wu's entertaining directorial debut is a mockumentary - or popumentary - about the formation of a boy band called "Alive." Playfully bounding along, the film offers some real insights into the state of contemporary pop music, media industries, and stardom/celebrity.
83 minutes. In Cantonese with English subtitles.
