| Plot |
"Magically beguiling! It's a series of living tableaux, and on that level it succeeds handsomely." -Jay Carr, The Boston Globe
Inspired by the life of Liu Jing Lun, Shadow Magic is an enchanting drama that depicts the wondrous influence of movies in Peking, China at the turn of the 20th century.
Photographer Liu (Xia Yu) is intrigued by the inventions and western technologies that are coming to his small community. When an Englishman named Raymond Wallace (Jared Harris) arrives with talk of "moving pictures," Liu helps bridge the gap between Raymond and the Chinese, unintentionally defying the traditions of his culture in the process. Conflicted by his loyalty to his family and friends, and the opportunity to better his standing in society so he can marry the woman he loves, Liu must decide whether or not to risk everything to help bring the motion picture industry to China and make his dreams come true. |
