Film noir meets songstress film in this loose adaptation of Georges Bizet's Carmen. Grace Chang plays Deng Sijie, a nightclub singer who irresistibly pours herself into the latin, jazz, blues and operatic musical numbers arranged and composed by Yao Ming and Japanese composer Hattori Ryoichi. Chang is dangerously cool and sexy as she sings, struts and growls through 'Jajambo' and a Mandarin adaptation of Bizet's 'Habanera'. Liang Hanhua (Zhang Yang), the fresh-faced piano player at the New Ritz club, attempts to resist her charms but falls more decisively under her spell. This is cinema and seduction at its best — don't miss it!
