Song of the Exile (Ke tu qiu hen)
Deeply rooted in the events that shaped East Asian history after the end of the Pacific War, this panoramic account of a troubled mother-daughter relationship is inspired by he director's own life story.
An exquisite and deeply moving film, it examines the notions of exile and diaspora from a multitude of perspectives.
It features one of Maggie Cheung's most commanding performances, which paved the way for her roles in Centre Stage and the films of Wong Kar Wai.
