Bhubaneswar, June 25: A double delight awaits cinema aficionados this Saturday.

The Film Society of Bhubaneswar will screen two films each from Hong Kong and Sweden as part of its monthly screening for its members.

The screening would be held at Jayadev Bhavan.

The film from Hong Kong will be screened first. Infernal Affairs, a 2002 film, has become a topic of discussion in cinematic forums over the years. It has also attained a reputation of being an important work representing Asian films in contemporary world cinema.

Directed by Wai-Keung Lau & Alan Mak, the thriller film is known for its detailing, innovativeness of cinematic expression and distinctive visual aesthetics, which is considered a diversion from the limiting conventions of its genre.

With a simple plot, it narrates the story of two people — a mole of the underworld working in the police department and a cop working undercover in ranks of the underworld.

Their objectives are the same: to identify the traitor. The film not only creates anxiety about how the story would unravel but also dwells deeply on how the two persons tackle the situation given their dual identities are at loggerheads.

The second screening of the evening will be a film that perfectly fits the bill of the film society’s “classics revisited” section. Last month, they had screened Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 classic, The Seventh Seal. This month, they are set to screen another film of the Swedish filmmaker. His lesser-seen film The Magician, which was made in 1958 and originally titled Ansiktet (meaning the face), is certainly one of significant works of Bergman.

The film is about one Dr Vogler (played by actor Max Von Sydow) who is a nineteenth-century travelling enchanter.
