This drama by Lawrence Lau is one of the treasures of recent Hong Kong cinema. Lau Ching-wan stars as a bitter, washed-up actor who begrudgingly takes an aspiring ingénue (Huo Si-yan) under his wing. Her growing success inspires in him a mixture of jealousy, affection, and a desire to return to the silver screen. Watch for cameo appearances by some of Hong Kong’s well-known actors and directors. 2006 / 94 min.
Part of the Thirteenth Annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival. This year’s festival features a selection of film, new and old, that highlights Hong Kong’s cinematic achievements. This festival is cosponsored by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. All films are in Cantonese with English subtitles unless otherwise indicated.
