Ontdek

Ten years after They Call Me Jeeg Robot (winner of the Imagine 2016 Audience Award), director Gabriel Mainetti is back with another highly original genre mash-up. Martial arts, mafia movie, romantic comedy and family drama are mixed and skilfully moulded into a spectacular and wildly entertaining ride. You rarely see this level of fight scenes outside of Asia. The Forbidden City also offers a fresh perspective on immigrant life in Rome and the cultural challenges faced by the Italian and Chinese characters, but above all else, it’s great entertainment.
 
Imagine is the largest film festival for Fantastic film in the Netherlands, showcasing the best in fantasy, horror, sci-fi and everything in between. Imagine is all about the imagination. We believe dreaming big is best, because Weird Is Wonderful. After the 2025 festival, Imagine is touring the country with five favourites from this year’s programme. The Best of Imagine will be screened in Louis Hartlooper Complex on November 15th.

Omschrijving

Unique genre mash-up by fan favourite Gabriele Mainetti. Entertainment of the highest order! During China’s one-child policy era, the Xiao family secretly raises sisters Yun and Mei, training them in martial arts. Twenty years later, Mei travels to Italy in search of the missing Yun. Her arrival sparks a gang war that forces Mei to put her parents’ teachings to use.
