Chinese artist Pei Jing's oil painting
featuring both lead actor Chow Yun-fat and actress Siqin Gaowa in
the movie The Postmodern Life of My Aunt displayed on
Thursday, March 1, 2007.
Twelve oil paintings depicting the Chinese movie The
Postmodern Life of My Aunt are unveiled on Thursday in
Beijing.
These works are created by 12 renowned Chinese contemporary
artists, including Liu Dahong, Huang Qihou, Pei Jing, Wu Yiming and
Gao Bo.
The official released poster of the movie is inspired by two of
the oil paintings.
Directed by Ann Hui from Hong Kong, the movie The Postmodern
Life of My Aunt has a star-studded lineup, including veteran
Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat and Chinese actresses Siqin Gaowa and
Zhao Wei. It will open in cinemas across the nation on March 6.
According to Variety's film review, the movie, which is based on
a popular novel, turns its affectionate gaze on a woman of humble
origins from the provinces struggling to carve out a dignified life
in the unaccommodating urban tangle of Shanghai, where seemingly
everyone is focused on personal profit.
These paintings will be auctioned in Beijing or Shanghai after
the movie opens in China later this month. It is said that Chow
Yun-fat himself will purchase some of them.
