简介:《歌舞昇平》裡有幾個如果是肥皂劇劇情肯定會被安排連成一線的家庭,他們口中的悲慘命運是如此曖昧地有異曲同工之妙,令人在觀看時會想那是誰的誰,那人跟那人又有什麼關係。其實唯一的關聯是五個家庭同樣領取「綜援」,但每個故事卻往不同方向發展。他們貧窮的理由或許不一樣,處境也不一樣,結果,卻都發展成十分相似的生活狀態,殊途同歸的境地,幾乎都是對貧窮的習慣和適應,影片裡穿插著過年的片段,又和典型中國人過年有難以區分的相同與不同。The film explores the hidden face of poverty in one of the world's most affluent and capitalistic cities. Directed by CHEUNG King Wai (KJ Music and Life), the film follows five Hong Kong families of different backgrounds that receive government subsidies. How do the poor get by in a glossy city that flaunts conspicuous consumption and hides poverty in cavernous public housing estates All's Right With The World shares the different stories of these low-income families, their daily living conditions, and their ways of celebrating Chinese New Year.获奖情况:2008年 入圍第32屆香港國際電影節競賽單元2008年 入圍韓國首爾獨立電影電視節2008年 入圍第20屆飛帕電影節
简介:After a holiday visit with his parents, Mikey is headed to the airport to return to his wife and newborn baby. Except he doesn’t board the plane. Instead he returns to his parents’ loft in lower Manhattan, back to his childhood room that has since been converted to storage. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he’s staying – his flight is delayed, his flight is cancelled. A day passes, and then another, and he calls home and work to say he can’t return just yet – his parents are getting old, his parents are ill, time is too short. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his artist father is suspicious. From afar, his confused wife grows increasingly unsettled. Meanwhile Mikey moves back into his room, digging out notebooks and mementos, calling on old friends. As the days go on he becomes more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, and comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was. -- Official Site
