The World Languages and Cultures International Film Festival will be viewing, Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame on February 12, 2015, 7:30pm-10:00pm at the Library Auditorium.
Detective Dee is an action-packed, visually breathtaking Sherlock Holmes-style mystery starring some of China’s top acting talent. Stunningly choreographed by master Sammo Hung, this intricately plotted mystery is set in an exquisitely realized steampunk version of ancient China. On the eve of her coronation as Empress (Carina Lau), China’s most powerful woman is haunted by a chilling murder mystery: seven men under her command have burst into flames, leaving behind only black ash and skeletal bones. Recognizing this threat to her power, she turns to the infamous Dee Renjie (Andy Lau): a man whose unparalleled wisdom is matched only by his martial arts skills. As he battles a series of bizarre dangers, he unveils a chilling truth that places his life, and the future of an entire dynasty, in danger.
