Passing Flickers DVD Region 3

Director Li Han Hsiang draws from his thirty years in the business to create Passing Flickers, a frank, funny, and sometimes tellingly off-color account of what it was like to work in Hong Kong's fast-food film industry. Based on a popular newspaper column by Li recounting his work at Shaw Brothers, the film is an episodic pastiche of moments detailing the rigors of martial arts filmmaking, the gorgeous collection of Shaw's library of sets and costumes, and the low-brow antics of the notorious erotic film output from the famed studio. Li Han Hsiang's filmography was full of popular historical epics and comedies, such as the famous Emperor Chien Lung series, though the director was responsible for a few naughty erotic comedies, too! Thanks to his varied and comprehensive career, Li's musings on the filmmaking life are able to fascinate with an authentic and even cynical wit. Full of amusing behind-the-scenes asides and a number of familiar Shaw Brothers faces (including Anthony Lau and Goo Fung), Passing Flickers is required viewing for anyone interested in filmmaking from the glorious bygone Shaw Brothers era!

　　「三十年細說從頭」乃李翰祥將其在報章上之同名專欄搬上大銀幕之作，將數十年電影圈內眾生相，以及鮮為人知的秘聞，以輕鬆抵死手法為大家逐一揭露，保證知無不言，言無不盡，有些是真，有些是假，目僅博取大家一笑。此片亦被視李翰祥對光怪陸離的電影圈作一總括，如片場偷情，欠薪出計，純情女星未婚產子。趣事七拼八湊，含沙射影，令人會心微笑。
　　A true cinema connoisseur's treasure, this is Li Han-hsiang's version of Truffaut's Day for Night and Fellini's 8 1/2 - being the veteran Hong Kong director's homage to his thiryt years in the business. Based on the reminiscences in Li's popular newspaper column, these amusing, fictionalized (but truthful) episodes encompass an insider's look at Hong Kong movies in all their guts and glory. This unique effort by one of the industry's workhorses is a must-see for any Hong Kong cinema wathcer.
