"Tin shui wai dik yat yu ye" ("The Way We Are" in English) is the first Ann Hui movie that I've seen, although I understand that she's a world-renowned director. The movie focuses on a widow and her son in a run-down part of Hong Kong. As the movie progresses, they meet other people, each with their own backstories.
This is sort of like a Jim Jarmusch movie, in that it's deliberately slow-moving and emphasizes the characters' relationships among each other. If you're the type who needs constant action, then you'll want to avoid this movie like the plague. Indeed, a previous reviewer found it pointless. I thought that it did a fair if not great job focusing on the people's interactions with each other in threadbare conditions. I think that it was in one of these sorts of apartments where Edward Snowden hid after exposing the NSA's spying apparatus, before he fled to Russia.
Apparently, durians have one of the strongest smells of any fruit.
