It features international megastar Fan Bingbing in a daring performance that 'ranks as one of the most rugged in her career' . Green Night Director Han Shuai on Working with Fan Bingbing on a Feminist Neo-Noir Thriller Green Night is based on director Han Shuai's observations of the plight of women in the Chinese coastal town she grew up in on the border with South Korea near Incheon Airport, and she came up with the idea for a female-driven neo-noir crime drama. She spoke to Fan Bingbing to playing the lead as a Chinese immigrant who falls in love with a Korean woman to explore how women are seen in Asian society. 'We started working together because we both wanted to make a film with two very different women appearing in the same frame. Fan Bingbing once told me about her reaction to watching Blue is the Warmest Colour,' said Han. 'The film made her think about the prospect of acting alongside another woman, creating a unique type of on-screen chemistry. She believed this would offer her an opportunity to experiment with different acting techniques. Known for her portrayal of beautiful women in the eyes of men, Fan Bingbing's previous on-screen partners were all male. Working with Li Yu, she realized that she could be more authentic when working with a female director.' Still courtesy of Film Movement China has had a sl0w-burning trend of gritty crime movies for the past decade, yet it is unusual to find a female-led neo-noir thriller like Green Night and by a female director . Really, this should be more normal than it seems in this day and age. New York-based distributor Film Movement will be releasing the film on VOD in the US on October 18th.
