| Video Discription | A true multi-hyphenate, Stephen Chow is a writer-director-star-producer responsible for some of the wildest, most enjoyable comedies in cinema history, flying the flag for his brand of Hong Kong mo lei tau (“nonsense comedy”). Across 1 - 22 June, Odyssey 2023 and Prince Charles Cinema will showcase STEPHEN CHOW IN FOCUS, a retrospective program that’s the first of its kind in the UK. Films screening in the season include Chow’s international hit KUNG FU HUSTLE (Stephen Chow, 2004). Taking place in an immaculately art-directed 1940s Shanghai, the dangerous Axe Gang are running rampant over the city. Only Pigsty Alley, one of the city’s slums, is willing to stand up to them. A petty thief called Sing (Chow) tries to get into the gang, complicating matters for everyone. Hong Kong action cinema royalty fills out the cast and crew, with legendary fight director Yuen Woo-Ping choreographing the wild brawls. One of Chow’s directorial efforts, THE MERMAID (Chow, 2016), is the only film in our retrospective that doesn’t star him. His on-screen absence didn’t stop this eco-comedy from becoming one of the highest-grossing films in China’s box office history. In the film, a rich property developer wreaks ecological havoc with his multi-billion land reclamation project, only to fall for a beautiful mermaid that intends to assassinate him. The season will also feature two rarely screened films from the director-actor’s back catalogue. SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR MAN (Wong Jing and Raymond Yip Wai-Man, 1995) finds Chow’s playboy protagonist blown up by a Japanese yakuza and brought back to life by a mad scientist. Adding fantastical special effects to his comedic arsenal, the film also features the late Ng Man-tat, a regular Chow collaborator. Rounding out the selection is FORBIDDEN CITY COP (Vincent Kok and Stephen Chow, 1994), a combination of period wuxia and spy movie with Chow starring as an imperial agent protecting the Chinese emperor from outside forces. Part of the Odyssey 2023 film festival, STEPHEN CHOW IN FOCUS is programmed by lead festival curator Riley Wong and culture writer/festival juror Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy. It provides a wider context of both Chow’s career and Hong Kong film culture in recent decades. It wishes to inspire a new scope for discussion, in reflection of a revolutionary time. In its third edition, Odyssey: a Chinese cinema season on is an annual film festival presented by NGO UK-China Film Collab (UCFC). It takes place in London and online from 26 May - 30 June with over 60 films, 10 discussion panels and exclusive Q&As. odysdseychinesefilm.uk | @odysseyccs 9l1gm9NQyCQ |
