I hope there will be a number of good -- if not excellent -- Hong Kong and other movies to see in 2017. <br /><br />One thing I really liked about 2016 was being able to catch a number of my favorite older Hong Kong movies on a big screen.

Herman Yau wasn't at the screening but Chapman To and lots of others were, and a wonderful message from Herman Yau was read out that gave a good inkling that his heart was more in this project than "Nessun Dorma", which also screened at the festival!<br /><br />Hi YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-66845397017593801492017-02-02T17:57:13.868+08:002017-02-02T17:57:13.868+08:00Hi YTSL,

He confirmed the references to universal sovereignty, which I thought was really great in a Hong Kong gangster movie. Most definitely meant for the HK audience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
