ICAC: Homeward Bound

ICAC: Homeward Bound

In “Homeward Bound”, the corrupt Health Inspector is not your usual villain; he spouts poetry and has a loving, dutiful wife. He's also a sybarite who balances his life around a shrewd, money worshipping concubine and a mistress that is romantic, if impractical. His increasing desolation as all three women leave him is palpable and sagaciously reflects the ephemeral nature of life.

ICAC: Two Stories "Water"

Two Stories “Water” kicked off with the Cantonese tune of Raindrops Beating on the Banana Leaves, a symbolic hint on the tragic outcome of the drama – a demonstration of Joyce's astute use of music. When a kind, gullible mother-in-law and her rude, strong-willed daughter-in-law separately encounter the same con-artist, the result is high drama.

Unfortunately, it was banned by the authorities until its initial release at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in 1999.
