films by Fruit Chan

[nliu]

has anyone here seen any by this director? She (or he?) is supposed to be a good independant film director in HK. i saw "made in Hk" and it was pretty good. she (or he) has "durian durian", "the longest summer", and "people's toliet".

Fruit Chan is a guy.

I've only seen 'Made in Hong kong' and I really liked. Quite a sad story though. Are his other films any good?

I prefer this one called 'Little Cheung'. It's heartwarming and a pretty entertaining social commentary.

I just saw his newest (I think) work in Three: Extremes (三更 2) 'bout the dumpling thingy, starring Miriam Yeung and Tony Leung Ka-Fai. Quite a bizarre story 'bout Miriam Yeung eating dumplings with the fillings made of foetus to regain her beauty.

The film has a bunch of really wonderful people helping Fruit Chan out such as Christopher Doyle (a well-known cinematographer), Peter Chan (director of Three - Going Home and the 1994's He's a Woman, She's a Man) and Lilian Lee (writer of Farewell My Concubine).

Not a bad movie but could have done better.
