Synopsis
Following Lehman Brothers’ collapse, billion-dollar company Jones & Sunn is going public. Feared and respected CEO Miss Chang is promised a wealth of shares by Chairman Ho Chung-ping—her lover for 20 years—but when an audit exposes layers of covert power plays, his promises may not be easy to keep.

Our take
Johnnie To’s glimmering, genre-bending masterpiece is a collaboration with the great Sylvia Chang, who co-stars and adapted her stage musical. A wicked intertwining of romance and capitalism, it features Chow Yun-fat and gorgeously artificial production design by Wong Kar Wai favorite William Chang.
