5 movies or shows to stream or watch in cinemas in Hong Kong this weekend August 10-11
- From a Japan/Taiwan-based romance to a dark thriller set in a British school and the final Umbrella Academy series, there’s plenty to watch
The final season of an American superhero series, a heartfelt romance set in Japan and Taiwan, a hilarious Korean spy caper and a just concluded hit K-drama series – there’s so much worth streaming this weekend, we’d be surprised if anyone ventures outdoors.
If you do leave home, there is an absorbing movie to catch in cinemas about a manipulative teacher and five naive pupils.
1. Club Zero
Set in an elite British boarding school, Club Zero centres on a newly-arrived nutrition teacher, Ms Novak (Mia Wasikowska), who runs a course in conscious eating. Her class covers mindfulness, meditation and cutting down on processed foods.
But there is more to the quietly radical Novak than meets the eye: encouraging five of her pupils to join her cultish underground group, Club Zero, she wants to lead a revolution in which her young charges will survive on no food at all, in an effort to help save the planet.
Club Zero opens in cinemas today.
