Yellowfur D Everyone's pain and memories are real, but it's also true that they weren't moved. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Audience Member pas hyper facile d'accès. Un peu un film à festival, du quasi documentaire fictif. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member memories towards hangover! nostalgic... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Little Cheung concludes Fruit Chan's trilogy about the days leading up to the transfer of sovereignity over Hong Kong in 1997. This time we witness the events from a child's perspective, allowing Chan to drop earlier flirtations with genre films, focusing instead on presenting a pure slice of life. It's also the most locally rooted of the films in the trilogy, referencing personalities from Hong Kong celebrity culture and the tabloid press during the time. The attention to locale is also transmitted visually via Lam Wah-Chuen's excellent camerawork, with images that enhance an actual sense of cultural and class-bound belonging. Like it's two preceding movies, Little Cheung is a film about disappearances and the conflict between old and new, but the feeling of loss is decidedly less burdensome in Little Cheung, since it's also a film about growing up and all the hopes for the future that come with it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member When people ask me what's the best film I've seen few have heard of, this is one of the films I usually bring up. Fruit Chan is the Hong Kong Martin Scorsese. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film, but I felt like it could have ended before it did.
