For Alice (給愛麗絲)

A noir crime thriller which pays tribute to the classics of Hong Kong genre cinema while reinvigorating the form. Released after twenty years in prison, Shuang (<b>Tai Bo</b>), retreats from the criminal underworld, though his quiet life is thrown into disarray after he decides to help Alice (<b>Kuku So</b>), a teenage girl on the run from her mother’s abusive partner. Beautifully shot, For Alice recalls the classic Hong Kong thrillers of the 1980s and 90s, while reinvigorating the genre with its own suspenseful take on guilt and redemption, marking debut director <b>Wing Chow</b> as a up and coming talent to keep an eye on. <b>This screening will be introduced by Focus Hong Kong festival curator, James Mudge.</b> In Cantonese with English subtitles.
