Amos Why got some notoriety with his debut feature, the romantic drama “Dot 2 Dot” (2014) which revolved around a girl who came to Hong Kong from mainland China and got fascinated by the place’s culture. His next film was “Napping Kid” (2018), a tech thriller with some political undertones that ultimately suffered from the convoluted plot.
Why is back to the romance genre with his latest work, “Far Far Away” based on a simple premise of a shy and nerdy It guy who all of a sudden draws the interest of five different good-looking girls. The film premiered at the last year’s edition of Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, while its theatrical release was scheduled for this year’s Valentine’s Day. We caught it at Osaka Asian Film Festival, where it had its international premiere.

After the discovery of a grisly scene in an apartment, the police investigate into the lives of those involved. While Tai (Lam Sem), who lives in the apartment, was found unconscious, a classmate of his, Don (Kyle Li), was found holding the severed head of a prostitute named Yu Ting (Hanna Chan). As the officers interrogate the two youths, as well as their teacher (Alan Yuk), who is also somehow involved in the events, using physical torture on some of the suspects, they also find out about Xiaomei (Huang Lu), a female student whose background and cup size has made her a frequent target for her classmates’ mockery and bullying. What seemed like a clear-cut murder case at first, becomes something far more complex, leading directly into the dark heart of a country’s moral corruption and its obsession with keeping up a shiny appearance to the outside world.

Nicolas Cage, accompanied by Australian actress and producer Nikki Whelan, trod the red carpet on Saturday night as part of the opening festivities at the third edition of the International Film Festival and Awards.
Set as a talent ambassador, Cage held small group seminars earlier on Saturday. On Sunday he will hold a masterclass.
His presence helped compensate for a couple of high-profile mainland Chinese talent absentees, presumably summoned North for the Huabiao Awards taking place in China the same evening.
The breezy opening event included a specially composed song and dance routine, a whirl of clips from films that will unspool over the coming week, and an elaborate ticket-slotting set-piece.
International guests in attendance included director of Copenhagen Pix Film Festival Jacob Neiiendam; director of Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival Tiina Lokk; director of Sydney Film Festival, Nashen Moodley; artistic director of Chicago International Film Festival, Mimi Plauche; director of Busan International Film Festival,...
