| As part of the "Global Hamlets" symposium (October 5, 1-5pm in Blount), a recent Chinese film adaptation of the play will be screened.
The Banquet (aka Legend of the Black Scorpion, dir. FENG Xiaogang, China, 2006) is a striking kung-fu version, with an intriguing twist at the end. Visually pleasing, aesthetically complex, and lots to talk about.
Dr. Alexander Huang (George Washington University) discuss this film as part of his presentation during the "GLOBAL HAMLETS" symposium Friday, October 5, 1-5pm in Blount.
