Chow Yun-fat delivers a powerful performance in this gripping and emotional masterpiece
HONG KONG 1941(1984), the critically acclaimed masterpiece starring Chow Yun-fat, Cecilia Yip and Alex Man, follows three Hongkongers forced to negotiate life under occupation as their homeland falls to the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II.
Ha Yuk-nam (Yip) is a young woman locked in a love triangle with her close friends Yip Kim-fei (Chow) and Wong Hak-keung (Man). As they dream of escape, their complicated personal relationships play out against the background of oppression and brutality that was brought to Hong Kong by Japanese rule between 1941 and 1945.
Produced by Sammo Hung, Hong Kong 1941 and directed by Leung Po-Chi a versatile British-Chinese filmmaker whose career has spanned nearly fifty years, a story of loyalty and love, Leong’s film deals with one of the darkest periods in Hong Kong’s history and was nominated for no less than eight awards at the 1985 Hong Kong Film Awards – winning for its breathtaking cinematography by Brian Lai (THE POSTMAN STRIKES BACK).
It also launched Chow Yun-fat to stardom two years before his first collaboration with John Woo in A BETTER TOMORROW.
