On the occasion of his film “The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants” screening at the Udine Far East Film Festival and his receipt of the Career Award, Hong Kong legend Tsui Hark spoke to Asian Movie Pulse about his love for bringing characters from Chinese literature to the big screen, the casting process for “Gallants”, and more.
On paper I am an Italian living in London, in reality I was born and bread in a popcorn bucket. I've loved cinema since I was a little child and I’ve always had a passion and interest for Asian (especially Japanese) pop culture, food and traditions, but on the cinema side, my big, first love is Hong Kong Cinema. Then - by a sort of osmosis - I have expanded my love and appreciation to the cinematography of other Asian countries. I like action, heroic bloodshed, wu-xia, Shaw Bros (even if it’s not my specialty), Anime, and also more auteur-ish movies. Anything that is good, really, but I am allergic to rom-com (unless it’s a HK rom-com, possibly featuring Andy Lau in his 20s)"
