"Devotion" is a good, old-fashioned, tear-jerking melodrama, with fine performances from the entire cast. Oddly enough, Ouyang's Sa Fei stands out in this film for the restraint with which she plays her role, reminiscent of the somewhat similar role played by Anthony Hopkins in "Remains of the Day". Her character is a rather repressed nanny and Ouyang remains true to her repressed character. Her selfless devotion first to her daughter, then to her granddaughter (both played by the always-charming Ding Hao) form the beating heart of this film. Recommended for a general audience. |

Ouyang Sa Fei, after making a splash in the Chinese movies in the 40s became one of the finest character actress in Chinese movies of the 50s through the 70s. Her formidable skill and emotional depth was in great display in this excellent melodrama "Devotion". Fans of Chinese movies are lucky that many of her work are available on discs now such as "Love Eterne" and many others but this "DEVOTION" is special because it was the first time a HK actress being awarded in an international film festival for a supporting performance--a most derserving accolade many will agree. Thank you Madame Ouyang, the CATHAY library of classics certainly shine brighter with you in it ! |
