Hong Kong New Wave Pioneer Ann Hui to Receive Kerala Festival Honor

I watched this documentary about the Hong Kong film director Ann Hui yesterday. It's brilliant.

As the article points out, it's also the story of Hong Kong and its film industry.

What a fascinating person she is though. So restless, so honest.

The documentary is included as an extra on the blu-ray of her 1982 movie 'Boat People' about the aftermath of the Vietnam War.

Dir. by #AnnHui

After suffering a stroke, an altruistic maid announces that she wants to quit her job and move into an old people's home.

@heejinlee Thanks for mentioning THE GOLDEN ERA, #AnnHui's biopic of Chinese writer #XiaoHong (1911-1942). An intriguing, absorbing & moving film, with an impressive performance by #TangWei.

"Xiao Hong led a rough, itinerant life & died a refugee in Japanese-occupied Hong Kong at age 30. Her writing career spanned less than a decade, but her works have stood as models for later generations of writers. A central theme in her work was the fate of women under patriarchy."

Must read her work now.
