Enfin ! Il aura fallu 20 ans pour que cette adaptation du manhua (BD chinoise) d’Yuyi <\/strong>et Andy Seto<\/strong> d\u00e9barque au cin\u00e9ma.

Ainsi, bien avant son d\u00e9but de tournage en 2021, de prestigieux noms furent attach\u00e9s \u00e0 ce projet.<\/p>\n\n\n

L’histoire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nous voil\u00e0 parachut\u00e9s dans les ann\u00e9es 80, tandis qu’Hong Kong \u00e9tait sous domination britannique. On y suit le migrant chinois Chan Lok-kwun (Raymond Lam<\/strong>) dans sa qu\u00eate de titre de s\u00e9jour. Habile aux combats \u00e0 mains nues, Lok-kwun attire rapidement l’attention de Mr. Big (Sammo Hung<\/strong>), un puissant chef des Triades. Contraint de fuir ce dernier, il \u00e9choue dans la ville fortifi\u00e9e de Kowloon. Cette enclave de non-droit dirig\u00e9e par Cyclone (Louis Koo<\/strong>), une l\u00e9gende de la p\u00e8gre, va bient\u00f4t \u00eatre le th\u00e9\u00e2tre de terribles affrontements…<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s son thriller surnaturel Mad Fate<\/a> <\/em>(Ming’an<\/em>) en juillet dernier, Soi Cheang<\/strong> sera donc encore \u00e0 l\u2019affiche cet \u00e9t\u00e9 avec une des productions hongkongaises les plus ch\u00e8res \u00e0 ce jour. Pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 la s\u00e9ance de minuit du dernier Festival de Cannes<\/a>, City of the Darkness<\/em> a fait sensation aupr\u00e8s du public. Toutefois, si ce n’est pas suffisant pour te tenter, voici 4 bonnes raisons de foncer le voir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/ Un film bourr\u00e9 d’action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On ne s’ennuie pas une seule seconde devant les deux heures et cinq minutes du long-m\u00e9trage. Con\u00e7ues par le cascadeur et chor\u00e9graphe japonais Kenji Tanigaki<\/strong> (SPL<\/em>, saga Kenshin<\/em>), les s\u00e9quences d’action sont lisibles et particuli\u00e8rement brutales. De plus, les effets visuels et sonores contribuent \u00e0 nous faire partager la douleur des protagonistes. Ici, chacun des acteurs aura son moment de gloire. Mention sp\u00e9ciale pour l’hilarant personnage invincible de Philip Ng<\/strong> (Once Upon a Time in Shanghai<\/em>) qui colle bien au mat\u00e9riau d’origine.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Louis Koo aka Cyclone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

2\/ Un portail vers le pass\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mais, Soi Cheang<\/strong> ne propose pas qu’un divertissement muscl\u00e9. \u00c9paul\u00e9 par le travail rigoureux du d\u00e9corateur Kwok-Keung Mak<\/strong> (D\u00e9tective Dee II : La L\u00e9gende du dragon des mers<\/em>), il met sous les projecteurs une communaut\u00e9 r\u00e9siliente ayant prosp\u00e9r\u00e9e hors du contr\u00f4le gouvernemental. R\u00e9\u00e9criture des manuels scolaires, d\u00e9boulonnage de monuments comm\u00e9moratifs, condamnations d’opposants politiques, lois liberticides. Alors qu’en 2024, la Chine refuse de maintenir le mode de vie propre \u00e0 l\u2019\u00eele, ce t\u00e9moignage du pass\u00e9 semble essentiel pour qu’il ne sombre pas dans l’oubli.<\/p>\n\n\n

3\/ Revoir Sammo Hung<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fr\u00e8res d\u2019armes de Jackie Chan<\/strong> et l\u00e9gende vivante du cin\u00e9ma d\u2019action, l\u2019artiste martial de 72 ans n\u2019a plus rien \u00e0 prouver dans ce domaine. Peu pr\u00e9sent sur les \u00e9crans depuis God of War<\/em> en 2017, il apparait en tr\u00e8s grande forme. Face \u00e0 Louis Koo<\/strong> (SPL 2<\/em>), Sammo Hung<\/strong> retrouve un registre dans lequel il excelle, celui du m\u00e9chant de service. \u00c0 travers plusieurs sc\u00e8nes exaltantes, il d\u00e9montre encore une fois ses talents de combattant. Et en tant qu\u2019amatrice des productions de l\u2019\u00e2ge d\u2019or du cin\u00e9 Hongkongais, j’avoue \u00eatre retomb\u00e9e en enfance.<\/p>\n\n\n

4\/ Une trilogie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ce film ayant enregistr\u00e9 des performances record \u00e0 Hong Kong et en Chine, une suite et une pr\u00e9quelle sont pr\u00e9vues. Produit par Wilson Yip<\/a> <\/strong>et Cheang<\/strong>, ces nouveaux chapitres seront \u00e9galement bas\u00e9s sur la BD de Yuyi<\/strong> et Seto<\/strong>. En effet, le deuxi\u00e8me volet, Twilight Of The Warriors : Dragon Throne<\/em> prendra place dans les ann\u00e9es 1950-60 et retracera les premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es des personnages incarn\u00e9s par Louis Koo<\/strong> et Aaron Kwok<\/strong>. Quant \u00e0 la suite, Twilight Of The Warriors : The Final Chapter<\/em>, elle se d\u00e9roulera en 1993, l’ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 Kowloon fut d\u00e9molie. Raymond Lam<\/strong>, Terrance Lau<\/strong>, German Cheung<\/strong> et Tony Wu<\/strong> y reprendront leurs r\u00f4les.<\/p>\n\n\n
