When Tat Fu Was Young (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

The life of famed Chinese poet Yu Tat Fu is dramatized in the 1988 drama When Tat Fu Was Young, from acclaimed director Eddie Fong. Also known as Cherry Blossoms, the film is narrated from the perspective of the adult Tat Fu (Chow Yun Fat), who recalls the years he spent in Japan as a youth circa 1913. During a chance encounter, the young Tat Fu (Terence Fok) meets Lung (Sachiko Nakamura), who would become the focus of his obsessive love. Meanwhile, Tat Fu must contend with discrimination from the Japanese, and continuing tension of the ongoing Sino-Japanese conflict. Tat Fu also finds brotherhood with Isao, an older Japanese student, but when Lung enters their lives, their friendship gives way to a bitter romantic rivalry. Featuring an artful re-creation of early twentieth century Japan, and a complex glimpse at the fleeting beauty of youth, When Tat Fu Was Young is an absorbing and intimate look at a renowned literary figure.
