Triad Election / Hak se wui I wo wai kwai Series: 10 Years and Running: Recent Hong Kong Cinema Director: Johnnie To, Country: USA, Release: 2006, Runtime: 92 Jimmy (Louis Koo, a current superstar of Hong Kong cinema) is in the running for the coveted post of Triad president, aka head of the Hong Kong mob. He faces resistance from his "godfather" Lok (Simon Yam), who has served his two-year term but makes an increasingly desperate effort to throw tradition to the winds and maintain his position. As the power plays escalate, so does the violence--not to mention the virtuosity of director Johnnie To, who creates one spectacular set piece after another: a nerve-shredding game of hide-and-seek in an outdoor restaurant, a shocking interrogation scene involving butcher's knives and ravenous dogs, and a genuinely tragic conclusion. To is working deep within the traditions of the gangster genre, but he has also given Triad Election a genuinely political edge. In his dog-eat-dog vision, the body of free-market expansion beats with a savage heart. Presented in the 2006 New York Film Festival.
