Elegies

Through her personal encounters with some of Hong Kong’s most notable poets, Ann Hui shows the topography of contemporary poetry on and off the city. Two poles of reality, the unrestrained Huang Canran and the cosmopolitan Liu Wai Tong are juxtaposed to reveal two distinctively different personalities, ideals, and ways of life. Seeing the late Xi Xi recite her own poem about the old Kai Tak Airport is a deeply heart-warming moment. (Source: Letterboxd)
