Zhang Yimou's 2018 film Shadow (影) to continue in Pittsburgh through June 6.



The 2018 Zhang Yimou film Shadow (影), which opened in Pittsburgh on May 24, will continue here through June 6. The distributor provides a summary:
With SHADOW, director Zhang Yimou (HERO, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS) once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to create a film like no other, masterfully painting a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of color from the blood of the defeated. In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a “shadow”, a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the King himself. Now he must use this weapon in an intricate plan that will lead his people to victory in a war that the King does not want.
Tickets and showtime information is now available online. The theater is located at 1035 S. Braddock Ave. in Regent Square (map).
