International Premiere

Night King (Director's Cut)

夜王

In 2012, Club EJ is the last grand hostess club standing in East Tsim Sha Tsui, a fading palace where powerful men on both sides of the law still come to spend and be entertained. Veteran manager Foon, played by Dayo Wong, knows all the rituals of the room. Enter his ex-wife, Madame V (Sammi Cheng), who arrives as CEO and gives the club thirty days to prove its worth. But when a slick businessman makes his own play for Club EJ, the former couple and their staff must outwit him. After A Guilty Conscience, Jack Ng reunites much of his cast for a seedier return to Hong Kong crowd cinema. This international premiere of the Director’s Cut is rougher, more adult, and nearly thirty minutes longer, pushing_ Night King _deeper into the underworld only glimpsed in theaters.
