Filmed in bright and bold colors, Kunal Kohli's comedy A LITTLE LOVE, A LITTLE MAGIC is a sweet summer treat for you and the family!
Showtimes: Media: Watch Trailer MR. CINEMA offers an entertaining and bittersweet snapshot of Hong Kong over more than three decades. It is the story of Zhou, a left-wing film projectionist. His leftist beliefs are challenged when the city experiences a series of mind-shattering events such as the Asian Financial Crisis, the SARS outbreak and the handover of 1997. Will Zhou find his way in the ever-changing Hong Kong, or will he be left behind? MR.CINEMA is reminiscent of CINEMA PARADISIO that will resonate with viewers especially those with strong personal ties to Hong Kong.
