'GF*BF' On HK DVD And Blu-Ray

 

Intercontinental Video have announced the HK DVD and Blu-Ray releases of 'GF*BF' for the 20th November, 2012. Written and directed by Gillies Yang ('Orz Boyz'), the film stars Guey Lun Mei, Joseph Chang, and Rhydian Vaughan as three close friends entwined in a love triangle spanning three decades.

Synopsis

'GF*BF' chronicles the entanglement of romance and friendship between the three leads against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Taiwan, which was still under martial law in much of the 1980s. At 17, Mabel (Guey Lun Mei) and Liam (Joseph Chang) are considered an inseparable couple by the classmates in their small-town high school. Enter Aaron (Rhydian Vaughan), the idealistic rebel who brings subtle changes to their relationship. Mabel reluctantly accepts Aaron's courtship, although still hanging around with Liam. Aloof and reserved, Liam doesn't seem to mind, and even becomes best mates with Aaron when they go to university in Taipei together amidst the social movements demanding sweeping reform. Ultimately, the trio's bonds are tested as they struggle to come to terms with deception, betrayal, and revealed secrets through the tumultuous times...

Artwork and trailer are below, and you can preorder both versions now from YesAsia.com.
