“Looking back, I had made films in many different genres, served in companies of various sizes, and had made the transition from Cantonese to Mandarin films. I most treasure the period at the end of the Cantonese film era, about the time when I made Winter Love and The Prodigal. I was at the age when I was most developed.”

    Supreme studio craftsman Chor Yuen plants one foot in the arthouse, the other in the grindhouse, and delivers a transgressive masterpiece.
