About Asura
An epic fantasy loosely based on Buddhist mythology, it is set in the mythical realm of Asura — the dimension of pure desire which is threatened by a coup from a lower heavenly kingdom.
Directed by Peng Zhang, Asura leans on a strong ensemble — Leo Wu, Carina Lau, Tony Leung Ka-fai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2018.
