The White Crow Michael Robotham Over 5 million copies sold....
Chinese Neo-noir Crime Thriller
When small-time mob leader Zhou Zenong (Hu Ge) accidentally kills a cop, a bounty is placed on his head, forcing him on the run from both the police as well as dangerous gangsters out for the reward.
Hiding out in China’s densely populated (and deeply divided) Wuhan province, Zhou becomes entangled with an enigmatic woman, who has mysterious intentions of her own.
Wild Goose Lake is a lawless area of Wuhan: a perfect place to situate a high-paced crime thriller. Featuring gorgeous, neon-drenched cinematography and bursts of shocking, expertly choreographed action, The Wild Goose Lake is ‘spellbinding’ (Rolling Stone), ‘brilliant’ (Indiewire) and ‘downright Hitchcockian’ (AV Club). Umbrella.
China/France, 2019, 113 min.
