Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and Johnnie To’s Triangle (Tie San Jiao) has finally been given the go-ahead by the Chinese authorities and will now be able to lawfully enter the Official Selection line-up at the 60th annual Cannes Film Festival next week - an outcome not entirely unexpected due to the film’s plot being a paragon of patriotic virtue (that’s a little excessive, I was just saying that the film isn’t socially or politically risqué and felt an unhealthy urge to use the word paragon). IMDB description: Told in three 30-minute segments (each segment with a different director - sort of like Grind House), three friends seek out the buried treasure of a mysterious stranger. Triangle is the first Chinese/Hong Kong film to enter the competition since Lou Ye’s outrageously controversial Summer Palace last year.
