With Hong Kong cinema in decline, this film may gain importance in the coming years. It's a look back at Hong Kong cinema and several important societal changes that marked Hong Kong's history. And it does a decent job too, though I was a little disappointed by the mediocre presentation. It's nice seeing Anthony Wong in a more subdued role. The rest of the cast is pretty stacked too (with Karen Mok as another stand-out). The plot and pacing are solid, the runtime feels earned, and there are some memorable moments, but the cinematography wasn't up to par. A fine film, but more geared at people who care about the history of things.Read all
McDull, the Alumni
Three stories about modern relationships, that is, what was considered modern in 90s Hong Kong. Each short has its purpose and the quality between them is pretty consistent. Sadly it doesn't offer any of the creative freedoms you'd expect from an anthology. The result is a bit mediocre.
