Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Feb 27 My favorite Fruit Chan movie by far. A perfect finale to Fruit Chan's 1997 Trilogy. An excellent portrayal of the HK society and culture. Seeing this movie is bitter sweet, a final "goodbye" to the old Hong Kong. See more 05/30/2012 pas hyper facile d'accès. Un peu un film à festival, du quasi documentaire fictif.

See more 10/07/2010 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.
