British label CineAsia is preparing a Blu-ray release of Felix Chong's The Goldfinger a.k.a. Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong (2023), starring Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Simon Yam, Charlene Choi, and Carlos Chan. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 20.
Description: Get ready for this eagerly awaited Hong Kong crime epic, reuniting the team behind the classic Infernal Affairs, which in turn spawned Martin Scorsese's Oscar winning film, The Departed.
The Goldfinger stars Tony Leung (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Grandmaster) and Andy Lau (The Wandering Earth II, House of Flying Daggers), teamed with Infernal Affairs co-writer Felix Chong (The Silent War, Overheard), now taking the helm for this sweeping, stunning tale of greed and excess. They first collaborated more than 20 years ago on original 2002 box office sensation Infernal Affairs which earned international acclaim and paved the way for a hit trilogy.
Inspired by true events and set during the 1980's, The Goldfinger follows the rise and fall of a multi-billion-dollar company and its chairman Cheng Yi-yan (Leung), who undergoes a major investigation led by an elite anti-corruption investigator (Lau). The result is a relentless and intriguing 15-year investigation in pursuit of the truth.
With its engrossing story, stellar performances and incredible style and visuals, The Goldfinger reaffirms the cinematic power and tradition of Hong Kong cinema.
