YesAsia Editorial Description

A classic romantic drama from Hong Kong, An Autumn's Tale is one of the most memorable films of the 1980s. Directed by famed director Mabel Cheung, it stars Chow Yun Fat and Cherie Chung, and at the time of the film's release they were considered Hong Kong's most romantic on-screen couple. Also starring in the film is Danny Chan, whose premature death left many treasuring his legacy.

The story deals with two people, from different social backgrounds, lifestyles and ways of thinking begins the unlikeliest of romances in a land far from home. With Cheung's meticulous direction, there is an almost fairy-tale like quality to this film. Chow Yun Fat's "Boat Head" and Cherie Cheung's Lee Kay defined romance for years, and the song played in the film, "At the Forest and the Wild" moved many to tears! There is little wonder as to why An Autumn's Tale is voted into "Hong Kong's Top 10 Most Popular Films Ever" by internet voters.

An Autumn's Tale also picked up many awards at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay by Alex Law Kai Yui (Mabel Cheung's husband), as well as Best Actor for Chow Yun Fat.

An Autumn's Tale is now digitally remastered and comes with an interview with director Mabel Cheung and screenplay writer Alex Law on Disc 2 of this 2-Disc Edition, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the film's release in 1987.

For Chow and Chung fans only Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
"An Autumn's Tale" is about an art student (Cherie Chung) who travels to NYC to go to school and be with her wealthy boyfriend (Danny Chan). A thoroughly uncouth distant relative (Chow Yun Fat) puts her up in the world's dumpiest apartment. Cherie then discovers that boyfriend Chan has fallen for another woman.

The film shows Cherie adjusting to life in the Big Apple, Cherie and Chow Yun Fat developing an affection for each other, and the misunderstandings that prevent Chow from telling Cherie of his love for her. Will Chow and Cherie ever get together?

I found too much of the story to be trite cliches, too much of the filmmaking to be ham-handed, too much of Chow Yun Fat's acting to be overbroad, and the film's resolution to be thoroughly unconvincing.

I was greatly disappointed by "An Autumn's Tale" and I cannot recommend it.

Excellent Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The first time I watched this was on an old scratchy VHS version ages ago. It's amazing to see this film finally restored and remastered and it looks amazing. The performance from the two leads is flawless as they draw you into their worlds and make you start to feel more for their characters. New York provides a very beautiful backdrop for this film and it's amazing to see how it has changed over the years. Furthermore, the chemistry between Chow Yun Fat and Cherie Chung feels so real that it's hard to believe that they are only acting. The story itself is very well written with a great ending. Highly recommended!

A superb Movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have seen this movie many years ago and it was superb performance from the whole cast. If you were a devoted fan to Chow Yun Fat and modern time love story this is a must buy for your collection. The theme music of the movie is beautiful. By the way if there is a DVD version of this movie?
