周冠威新戲《自殺通告》釋出預告 未知香港能否上映 盼觀眾「集氣」
Director Chow Kwun-wai, whose previous films include *The Wedding*, *Revolution of Our Times* and *Beyond the Dream*, released the trailer for his latest work, *Suicide Notice*, today. Filmed in Taiwan, the film focuses on student suicide and stars Best Actor Anthony Wong Chau-sang and Taiwanese actors Lin Yu-hsi, among others. It will be released in Taiwan on 7 November. Chow told The Independent Media that he had submitted the film to Hong Kong’s film censorship authority last month but did not yet know whether it could be screened in Hong Kong, and hoped Hong Kong audiences would join in “sending their support.” *Suicide Notice* began filming on 8 July last year and underwent more than a year of post-production. It was produced by Taiwanese company Bun Ceoi Film Production and distributed by Vie Vision Pictures. The trailer released today includes phrases such as “Accusing the system of killing” and “A fable? A prophecy?” The cast includes Best Actor Anthony Wong Chau-sang and Taiwanese actors Lin Yu-hsi, Lau Ging, Shao Yi-mei and Bai Run-yin. The synopsis says that at an elite private school where academic results come first, an anonymous notice appears before the end-of-year examinations, foretelling that a suicide will take place.
