Avis à la une
This movie was really funny, not only was it about Kam's life as a hooker but the hardships,the ups and downs Hong Kong went through during those decades. If they did this film later, she could've described what it was like to live through the SARS scare in Hong Kong.
I loved Sandra in this movie, she was totally being herself..haha

I just got in from watching a surprise from the Chicago International Film Festival. This movie replaced another which had sold out so I wasn't planning on seeing it but it fit the slot. Delightfully so. I would venture that it's my favorite movie of the year.
Kum's life goes through absurd beginnings to humble endings and with it a rollercoaster journey. One minute you're laughing, the next you're on the verge of tears -- the latter quite a challenge. I would be surprised and disheartened if it doesn't get a nod this festival.

This story is about a Hong Kong prostitute ("chicken" is slang for prostitute) who winds up trapped in an atm with a would be robber. To pass the time till power is restored, she tells her life story. This film is a Sandra Ng tour de force. She is great in this role, playing it to the hilt, having fun, enduring heartache and just being her. The movie is told in flashback and while its essentially a comedy there are some sweet, poignant moments. Tony Leung and Andy Lau give some good performances, but this is Sandra's film. I can't imagine this film being remade in the U.S. and that is a great thing. Over her career, Sandra Ng has shown incredible versatility in her acting. She manages to look pretty, sweet and funny, all in the same scene. She won the Golden Horse for Best Actress and she deserved it. Eric Tsang, as the would be robber, is fine, but you'll be blown away by Sandra's performance. Its nit a vulgar film, despite the plot. I highly recommend this film.
Great fun to watch this, and because the subtitles have been done professionally, many of the puns and allusions do get through. One thing I particularly liked was how the many sub-stories did get resolved, and the ending was (in my view) just right for the tone of the film. One of the best HK films I've seen.
It is a great fun comedy and sure can make you laugh loudly, perhaps for those who understand Cantanese only, as the punchline are quite local.
First, the film has a strong story line which is about the career of Kam, a 45 years-old prostitute in Hong Kong. The background of most scenes are Hong Kong in 70s and 80s. The acting, dress up, envirnoment make the movie full of taste of 70s-80s, which is very successful. You will not boring throughout the whole movie.
Second, the cast is great. A lot of great stars such as Erci Tsang, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and Eason Chan are act as guest appearance in this film, which make the film more attractive. The acting of Sandra Ng is also great, perhaps because she may find this role's personality quite similar to her.....Anyway, her great acting make her nominated for the Best Actress In Leading Role of Hong Kong Film Awards this year. (nominated as Best Picture as well)
Third, the film can let you understand how a prostitute turn up to down during 90s, same as the economic condition. It make you to commiserate the experience of Kam, as well as the condition of Hong Kong.
Highly recommended.
8/10
