John Woo’s 1989 film “The Killer” has achieved cult status in the world of Hong Kong action cinema. The movie showcases Woo’s dynamic filmmaking style and highlights Chow Yun-Fat’s captivating performance as the protagonist. In a modern twist, Woo has revisited the film for a new audience in the 21st century, relocating the action to Paris and casting Nathalie Emmanuel as the lead character, a femme fatale with a complex moral compass. We caught up with the cast at the film’s premiere in Paris, where Omar Sy shared insights into his role as the virtuous cop and his experience performing his own stunts. Additionally, we bring you the latest updates from the El Gouna Film Festival in Egypt, where FRANCE 24’s Lyana Saleh delves into how the festival is being influenced by current geopolitical events.”
