Heady Days for Hong Kong Women
New York Times (3/30/10)
Joyce Hor-Chung Lau
"Of the four films chosen to open and close the Hong Kong International Film Festival, three are by local women. The fourth is by a man who goes by the name of "Scud." Three out of four is a high proportion for any city, particularly one famous for its macho cinema, where the men are gangsters and kung fu masters and the women are merely pretty."
