The first independent Hong Kong film made after the 1997 British handover to China, this “intoxicating drama about teenage alienation” (Tom Dawson, BBC) depicts a rarely seen view of the city. Far from the skyscrapers and expensive suits that populate most Hong Kong crime films, it depicts high school dropout Autumn Moon, who lives in a tenement with his single mother and collects debts for a low-level gangster. He falls for the daughter of one of his victims, and he gets even deeper into the crime world to raise money to treat her kidney disease. A digital restoration created by the Udine Far East Film Festival in honor of the film’s twentieth anniversary makes a fitting finale to this year’s festival. (Dir.: Fruit Chan, Hong Kong, 1997, 109 min., DCP, Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles)
