EVERLASTING REGRET CLEARED FOR LIFT OFF

Kung Fu Cult Cinema reports that Stanley Kwan's EVERLASTING REGRET is cleared to go to Venice (and then Toronto) by the Mainland Chinese censors. Kwan says that the changes they insisted on did not involve actual cuts in the movie but instead they wanted some titles re-written, but he also seems to suggest that he did re-edit some of the film while waiting for approval. Now Kwan can lock the final sound mix and edit, just in time for the movie's Sept. 8 premiere at Venice.
