Hong Kong Night Club

1997 · 112 min

A gentle, offbeat romantic comedy of mistaken identities and cross-dressing, set in a lively nightclub, with a warm and slightly absurd charm.

Overview: Shibata and Tategami are Japanese journalists hiding out in the Lost City Night Club to elude the triads. Shibata falls in love with the club's hottest singer, Cora, but is hampered by his disguise - as a woman. She in turn loves Tachikami, who is gay, and desires Shibata.
