Tony made such an incredible contribution to film criticism and scholarship, and so many of our own releases were enriched by his presence. We’ll miss him.
Remembering the irreplaceable Tony Rayns, the British film critic and a champion of East Asian cinema, who has passed away at 77.
We are deeply saddened to hear of his passing, and are thankful for the privilege of having worked with him as a longtime collaborator on releases such as Farewell My Concubine, The Cinema of King Hu, Shaw-Shock: Shaw Brothers Volume 3: The Hex Trilogy, Collaborations: The Cinema of Zhang Yimou & Gong Li, Leap, Scarface, and more.
RIP to a true film advocate, who introduced generations of Western audiences to international filmmaking.
