Election
Johnnie To's gritty unwashed take on the triad genre sees the Wo Ting Society looking for a new boss. Will it be the brash, temperamental Tony Leung or the calm and collected Simon Yam? Winner of Best Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards this uncompromising window on the violent and ritualistic world of the Yakuza is like Hong Kong's answer to 'The Godfather', full of betrayal, lust for power and brutal thugs.
