href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/collection\/fruit-chan\/\"><strong>Fruit Chan<\/strong><\/a>&#8216;s powerful instant classic returns to a new life today thanks to the 4K restoration produced by the Far East Film Festival with the collaboration of <a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/actor\/andy-lau\/\"><strong>Andy Lau<\/strong><\/a>&#8216;s Hong Kong production company <strong>Focus Film<\/strong> and realized by Bologna&#8217;s <strong>L\u2019Immagine Ritrovata<\/strong> on the basis of the original negative (with the supervision of the director and of the director of photography O Sing-pui).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time in history, a restored film will be shown in the cinemas of Hong Kong (Golden Scene is the distributor). And not just any film, let&#8217;s not forget. Fruit Chan&#8217;s anarchic cult movie is a powerful distillation of urban alienation and youthful despair shot on a shoestring and with a truly impressive freshness. Released shortly after the handover, it communicates its effects freely and perfectly. A time of worry and tension for the inhabitants of Hong Kong, frightened by a confusing future. A time of new beginnings and opportunities for its cinema, forced to seek a renaissance after the splendors of Bruce Lee, John Woo, and Wong Kar-wai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An honest-to-god manifesto of independent film shot at low cost with non-professional actors in authentic locations, Made in Hong Kong tells the story of Moon (the sexy Sam Lee), a small-time thug who has dropped out of school and lives in the pay of a local mobster. Doomed and yet naively in search of a way out, he spends his pointless, violent life with Sylvester, his mentally retarded friend, and one day falls in love with Ping, a girl with a terminal illness. And that&#8217;s all it takes to trigger the perfect fatal storm&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Fruit Chan&#8217;s own words: &#8220;I was worried that the restored version would be too perfect: Made in Hong Kong had been shot using out-of-date film stock, so it looked very rough and gritty. I was worried that the movie would become something different if it looked too clean, so I asked for the grain and the character of the images to be kept. It sounds easy, but I didn&#8217;t have the slightest idea of how they would do it! When<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I saw the restored version, I was extremely pleased with the end result: it was a faithful reproduction of the original.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born and bred in Hong Kong, Fruit Chan (1959) joined the cinema industry as an assistant director in the early eighties, and directed his first feature film, <a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/movies\/finale-in-blood\/\"><strong>Finale in Blood<\/strong><\/a>, in 1993, followed by <strong>Made in Hong Kong<\/strong> (1997). Subsequently, he received critical and public acclaim for films like <a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/movies\/the-longest-summer\/\"><strong>The Longest Summer<\/strong><\/a> (1998), <a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/movies\/durian-durian\/\"><strong>Durian, Durian<\/strong><\/a> (2000), <a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/movies\/hollywood-hong-kong\/\"><strong>Hollywood Hong Kong<\/strong><\/a> (2002) and <a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/movies\/three-extremes\/\"><strong>Dumplings:<\/strong> <strong>Three&#8230; Extremes<\/strong><\/a> (2004). In recent years he has been active as a producer and director of short films and directed the popular science-fiction film <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/movies\/the-midnight-after\/\">The Midnight After<\/a><\/strong> (2014, shown the same year at the FEFF).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Restored in 4K by Udine&#8217;s Far East Film Festival, Fruit Chan&#8216;s anarchic cult movie returns to Hong Kong&#8217;s cinemas on the 1st of July, exactly &#8230; <a title=\"Made in Hong Kong Restored in 4K\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/2017\/06\/20\/made-in-hong-kong-restored-in-4k\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Made in Hong Kong Restored in 4K\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1,5831],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-china-movies","category-chinese-cinema","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/c5_MHK_stills_10_4K0.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/china-underground.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
