RED HEROINE (1929) – Crest Kung Fu

For weeks I have been practically salivating at the thought of seeing Red Heroine, a 1929 Chinese Kung Fu epic that screens at the Crest on Tuesday. Here’s the trailer:

The film looks fantastic, sort of a silent era Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but making it even better is the chance to see it with live musical accompaniment from the Devil Music Ensemble. this is the sort of event that I usually have to drive up to the Pacific Film Archive to see, so I’m STOKED that it’s happening right here on the grid.

Film shows at 7:30– I’ll be the one eating a bag of popcorn bigger than my head.
