Introduction

Director Edmond Pang Ho-Cheung - winner of the Best New Director Award at the 2003 Hong Kong Film Awards for his hilarious dark comedy Men Suddenly in Black - assembles an intriguing cast for his new film Beyond Our Ken. Gillian Chung is Wai-Hing, a spurned girlfriend who embarks on a curious mission of vengeance against her ex-boyfriend Ken (Daniel Wu). Wai-Hing discovers that Ken published nude photos of her on his website, so she enlists Ken's current girlfriend Xiao-Lan (Tao Hong of Life Show) to help her steal back the photos. At first Xiao-Lan distrusts Wai-Hing, and is hesitant to help her. But Xiao-Lan changes her mind when she discovers Ken's true nature, and soon the girls' partnership grows from a tentative alliance to a full-fledged friendship. But even when it's two girls vs. one guy, three can still be a crowd...

Premiering at the Tokyo International Film Festival, Beyond Our Ken is a departure for young director Edmond Pang. Unlike his usual black comedies, Pang creates an offbeat tale of two emerging young women, headlined by an breakthrough performance from Twins member Gillian Chung, and the first Hong Kong film role for popular Mainland actress Tao Hong. Co-starring Daniel Wu, Beyond Our Ken is one of 2004's most exciting Hong Kong releases, and further proof of Edmond Pang's status as one of Hong Kong's most promising young directors!
