In the early 1920s, China’s greatest performers gather in the streets of Beijing to demonstrate their most amazing talents. One day, a challenge is set: anyone who manages to reproduce the incredible magic trick « Eight Immortals’ Treat » will receive a handsome reward. Zhang Xian, who is among the watching crowd, decides to try his hand at achieving this feat. The man behind the camera for The Great Magician is a director with an out-standing reputation (Shooters, Lost in Time), who has worked with greats such as Maggie Cheung and Jackie Chan. His latest film stars the incredibly talented Tony Leung (Infernal Affairs) in a profound and visually stunning tale set against a backdrop of rivalry and love. Let yourself be mesmerised by this spellbinding spectacle !
