China Lion to Offer North America A SIMPLE LIFE in April
China Lion Film Distribution, the company that has brought such recent hits as Dante Lam's THE VIRAL FACTOR and Doze Niu's LOVE to Asian Film-loving audiences both in North America and Australasia has announced that it will next be releasing Ann Hui's surprise festival hit A SIMPLE LIFE. The film, directed by Ann Hui and starring Andy Lau and Deanie Ip, has been a phenomenal hit at festivals and award galas around the world since its premiere in Venice back in September. Veteran actress Ip, whose last film was more than a decade ago, scooped the Volpi Cup Best Actress award on the Lido, as well as the equivalent honour at the Asian Film Awards and Taiwan's Golden Horses, to name but a few. 

While the story might not seem like that of a regular blockbuster - Lau plays a Hong Kong film producer who must put his career on hold to tend to his family's ailing housemaid (Ip) - but since finally opening here earlier this month has already proved one of the year's most successful films. China Lion will open A SIMPLE LIFE on screens in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Vancouver and Toronto on 13 April, expanding into Boston, Washington D.C. and Seattle the following weekend.
