Alex Law took inspiration from his own childhood for this sweetly nostalgic evocation of working-class Hong Kong in the 1960s. Through the eyes of eight-year-old “Big Ears” (charmingly portrayed by child actor Buzz Chang), we witness the everyday trials and triumphs of a poor family. Its members are a hardworking shoemaker (Simon Yam), his street-smart wife (Sandra Ng at her fast-talking best), and Big Ears’ older brother, an athletic teen in love with a girl from the rich part of town. Grounded in the reality of its times but playing like a modern-day fable, Echoes of the Rainbow is “at once tastefully old-fashioned and spontaneously heartwarming” (Edmund Lee, Time Out Hong Kong). (dir.: Alex Law, 2009, 117 min., Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles)
