Film Chinois

Damon Chua
The place - Peking, China. The year - 1947, an uneasy time between WWII and the imminent Communist takeover two years later. Randolph, a fresh-faced CIa agent, has been sent to the Raymond Chandler-esque imperial city with a specific mission. He makes progress, but soon chances into staunch communist Chinadoll, his would-be adversary and lover. Is their relationship doomed from the start? How does the couple navigate the thin line between personal passions and honoring their respective causes? and how is their cat-and-mouse game linked to the lascivious Belgian ambassador and his current squeeze, Simone, a willful local songstress? as Randolph plunges deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness that was once the most beautiful city in the world, he finds his life imperiled, even as he begins to unravel the mystery of a piece of old home-made film, and a beautiful woman who seems to have vanished into thin air.

Notes:
Film Chinois won Best World Premiere Play At the 2007 Ovation Awards And was Also nominated for Best Costume And Best Set Design.
