Tribute to Leslie Cheung, the cult actor of Hong Kong cinema on the occasion of his 70th birthday
A REFRESHING ROM-COM WITH TALENTED YOUNG ACTORS
AVAILABLE FOR THE 1ST TIME ON BLU-RAY
Pushed by their homeroom teacher, four sophomores join the high school drama club to perform in a new production of Romeo and Juliet. Chosen to play the heroine, Ting Ting falls madly in love with Jackson, her acting partner, who also directs the play. William Shakespeare's tragedy awakens the feelings and desires of these young actors, causing ripples in their surroundings...
At the dawn of the 1980s, Hong Kong cinema was in full transition, gradually moving from kung fu films and classic melodramas to more contemporary stories, rooted in urban daily life. An emblematic work of this evolution, Teenage Dreamers, directed by Clifford Choi, sketches a delicate portrait of this contemplative and close-knit generation, and also reveals the charismatic Leslie Cheung in one of his first roles. Available for the first time on Blu-ray™, Teenage Dreamers is a delightful rom-com with timeless charm!
