The Postmodern Life of My Aunt
13th Annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival |

(2006, 111 min., Mandarin with English subtitles, directed by Ann Hui) Based on a popular novel by Yan Yan, this film mixes comedy and poignancy in a tale of a sixty-something woman who lives alone in Shanghai and is trying to cope with both financial woes and the impersonal city around her. Chow Yun-fat adds to the film's charm by playing a smarmy con man.
Free, but tickets (2 per person) distributed 1 hour before
Repeats Aug. 3. Festival continues Aug. 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24.
