"Perhaps Love" clears its way to Oscar

Director Peter Chan's musical movie "Perhaps Love" edged out Jackie Chan's "The Myth" and Stanley Kwan's "Everlasting Love" to become Hong Kong's official entry for the Oscar best foreign film award, an industry association announced Tuesday.

The movie was chosen in a vote by the 11 directors of the Federation of Motion Film Producers of Hong Kong.

"Perhaps Love" features an international cast and crew including Hong Kong pop star Jacky Cheung, South Korean actor Ji Jin-hee, Taiwanese-Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro and Chinese actress Zhou Xun. It was shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Peter Pau and choreographed by Bollywood's Farah Khan, informes the AP.
