Taiwan Film "Monga" to Compete for Oscar

The Taiwan film "Monga" directed by Doze Niu has applied to compete for the Best Foreign Language Film title at the 83rd Academy Awards next February, Sohu.com reports.
Before "Monga," the romantic film "Hear Me" featuring Peng Yu-yen was to represent Taiwan films vying for an Oscar this year. But 'Hear Me" was excluded as the release date was August 2009, two months earlier than the official release date of October 1, 2009, to compete for an Oscar.
Taiwan film officials said "Monga" was chosen because the spirit of the film is recognized by local audiences, and it has grossed NTD200 million (about US$6 million) at box offices on the island.
While "Monga" has bowled over audiences in Taiwan, its graphic violence and portrayal of gangsters have prevented it from being shown on the Chinese mainland.

Veteran actress Vivian Chow's comeback film "All about Love(得閒炒飯)" has premiered in Hong Kong.
Helmed by award-winning director Ann Hui, the romantic comedy is about the reunion of two Hong Kong women who had shared a lesbian relationship ten years earlier.
Chow explains why she has chosen this film for her return to the big screen after a thirteen-year absence.
"The film is just about ordinary female love, and about commitment... The main thing is the love and commitment of lovers. And that's our selling point."
Sandra Ng, the other lead actress, says when taking on her role, she was very sensitive about personal hygiene as she did not want to put off her on-screen lover.
"When we were shooting kissing and intimate scenes, she was actually pretty relaxed. I was frequently brushing my teeth so I wouldn't have bad breath. I really wouldn't want my 'other half' to be disgusted with me so I prepared myself the best I could."
Also showing at the premiere was director Hui. She says it is her hope that after watching this film, people will be a bit more open-minded about homosexuality.
"All about Love" is scheduled to hit movie theaters in late August.

TRUE LEGEND lijkt me een erg interessante film. Yuen Woo Ping is een zeer bekwame kung fu/actiefilmregisseur. Soo Hak Jie/ Beggar Soo is een grappige personage. Hij is inderdaad vaak dronken. Helaas is degene die deze personage perfect speelde al lang overleden: Simon Yuen Siu Tin. De vader van de regisseur.
