Go Fast

Inspired by a real-life event and directed by Olivier Van Hoofstadt, Go Fast is a breath-taking 90 minutes of action following police officer Marek tracking down drug traffickers in Europe. Before shooting at La Forestiere, the area where the 2005 riots broke out, the director personally befriended many scions of the underworld in his research and took the ‘go fast’ run from Paris to Malaga at a average speed of 190 km/h: He was arrested by 14 officers of the Guardia Civil in Malaga – luckily with no drugs on board. The film will open in Hong Kong on February 5 and we have five pairs of tickets to give away. To win yours, tell us the name of the actor who plays Marek.

All About Women

Tsui Hark’s latest offering, All About Women, is a romantic comedy set in Beijing starring Zhou Xun, Kitty Zhang and Kwai Lun Mei. The film revolves around three women: Fanfan, who invents the magical Pheromone stickers, which can maximize one’s seductive power; Tang Lu (Zhang), a highly attractive woman who gets any man she wants except the one she really loves; and Tei Ling (Kwai), a rock diva who lives in a fantasy world with her dream man. Pheromone turns the love lives of these women upside down. To win one of the five DVDs we are giving away, tell us the name of the film’s screenwriter.

Starck’s Kronenbourg 1664

It’s taken a few years but the award-winning and stunningly beautiful Kronenbourg 1664 bottle created by renowned designer Philippe Starck is finally available locally. To reflect the nobility of the beer and make the experience of its consumption more elegant, Starck wanted to work on the form of the beer’s container: He created a 1664 bottle and glass along the lines of a champagne flute to reveal the golden hues and purity of the beer. While Starck’s works are available in select outlets around the SAR (by the case, if you wish), we have five to give away – perhaps to you, if you can tell us in which city Kronenbourg 1664 was first brewed?
