AROUND THE WORLD SCREENING OF “THE DRUMMER” RESCHEDULED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. NEW DATE FEB. 17, 2010.
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society, Lewes Public Library and Movies at Midway present the monthly film series Around the World, featuring critically acclaimed, international, independent films. The next event will feature a screening of “The Drummer” on Wednesday, February 17, at 7:00 PM in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway. The screening is free and open to the public.
“The Drummer” illustrates the power of music to radically change even the most hardened criminal. Sid is the rebellious son of Kwan, a controlling and savage mob boss in Hong Kong. Upon enraging his father's adversary, a powerful tycoon and underground business leader, Sid is forced to flee to Taiwan. Hiding out in the mountains, he encounters a group of Zen drummers whose mesmerizing art, rigorous physical training, and austere way of life pique this hostile urban young man's interest and he requests to join the group. Although Sid despises his father, he is also a younger version of him: wild and defiant. By immersing himself in the world of the Zen drummers, he converts into a firm and focused young man. Sid's independence from the gangster life and his father is profoundly challenged when a twist of fate back in Hong Kong forces him to choose between loyalty to his family and his new found faith in himself. [2008, Runtime:118 min, Not rated, In Mandarin and Cantonese with subtitles]
