Feng Yi Ting

An empire at stake; two powerful men in love with the same exquisite, inscrutable woman; and a plot that will change the course of history. Feng Yi Ting is the historic account of Diao Chan, a legendarily beautiful woman who was the central figure in a dangerous rivalry. This classic Chinese story of love, corruption, and political intrigue is retold under the direction of Canadian film and theater director Atom Egoyan, who returns to the Festival following his work in 2008 directing Liam Neeson in Beckett’s Eh Joe.
