A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box
Directed by Jeffrey Lau Chun-Wai
Produced by Choi Sing Din Ying Gung Shut, Xi'an Film Studio
A wildly inventive, genre-blending fantasy-comedy rooted in classical mythology, balancing frenetic action and romantic entanglement with metaphysical themes of reincarnation and redemption.
When the Goddess of Happiness tosses the Longevity Monk and his disciples out of heaven (because the Monkey King tried to attain immortality), the Monkey King is reincarnated as the Joker. He now spends his time chasing two jealous women. When one of them is dying, the Joker goes back in time in an attempt to save her.
