Flyer – The Whisper Of A Leaf Falling

Flyer for The Whisper Of A Leaf Falling (1998). Front and back scans combined. Designed by Simon Wong and John Williams. Written and directed by Philippe Cherbonnier.

Journey of enlightenment to hell and back, where commedia meets Beijing Opera.

On the morning of the 9th moon, Teng Mu, a young scholar, sets off to climb Mount Omei but his journey takes him much further than the lonely pine on the summit.

A drunken shadow spirit leads him on an enlightening trip to the Taoist underworld, where a terrible secret lies buried in the tortured soul of his wife.

Commedia meets Beijing Opera style in a strong piece of stylised storytelling.
