Sun, July 19
In 2012, Club EJ is the last grand hostess club standing in East Tsim Sha Tsui, a fading palace where powerful men on both sides of the law still come to spend and be entertained. Veteran manager Foon, played by Dayo Wong, knows all the rituals of the room. Enter his ex-wife, Madame V (Sammi Cheng), who arrives as CEO and gives the club 30 days to prove its worth. But when a slick businessman makes his own play for Club EJ, the former couple and their staff must outwit him. Jack Ng reunites much of his cast from 2023’s A Guilty Conscience for a seedier return to Hong Kong crowd cinema. This international premiere of the Director’s Cut is rougher, more mature, and nearly 30 minutes longer, pushing Night King deeper into the underworld only glimpsed in theaters.
