Sunday night at the multiplex

WHAT: Algoma International Film Association screening of Curse of the Golden Flower

WHERE: Galaxy Cinemas, Station Mall

WHEN: Sunday, February 4, at 7 p.m.

BUZZ: In 2004, Zhang Yimou caused a sensation with his astonishing House of Flying Daggers, and his Curse of the Golden Flower is yet another dazzling, visually stunning film.

Calling again upon the talents of the striking Gong Li, Yimou tells an epic tale of lust and power set in the opulent world of the later Tang dynasty.

"It's a work by cinematic geniuses that reveals beauty and terror in a long-ago time with a virtuoso intensity," said Michael Wilmington of Chicago Tribune.

"You won't soon forget its mad, lovely sights and sounds," Wilmington said.

PRICE CHECK: Admission is by ticket only. Tickets for members are $6 each, for non-members $8 each. Tickets may be purchased (or in the case of a person holding a season's pass, procured) from the ticket sellers who set up in front of the Bulk Barn next to the Galaxy Cinema in Station Mall. The ticket sellers are usually there approximately one hour before screening time.
