Connection
Ann Hui is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Producer, Production Design and Costume Design Chinoise born on 23 may 1947 at Anshan (Chine)
Ann Hui On-Wah, MBE (traditional Chinese: 許鞍華; simplified Chinese: 许鞍华; pinyin: Xǔ Ānhuá; Hepburn: Kyo Anka; born 23 May 1947) is a Hong Kong actress, director, producer and occasional screenwriter. She is one of the most critically acclaimed filmmakers amongst the Hong Kong New Wave. She is known for her (at times) controversial films about social issues in Hong Kong.
Hui has won numerous awards for her films, including, Best Director and Best Picture at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Best Film at the Asia Pacific Film Festival. She was honored for her lifetime accomplishments at the 2012 Asian Film Awards.
Hui quitte la télévision en 1978 pour réaliser son premier film The Secret, un thriller basé sur une histoire réelle de meurtre, avec la star taïwannaise Sylvia Chang. Le film est immédiatement considéré comme un important succès dans la nouvelle vague hong kongaise. Elle aborde les histoires de fantômes en 1981 avec The Spooky Bunch alors que The Story of Woo Viet continue sa trilogie vietnamienne.
Hui expérimente les angles audacieux et les effets spéciaux, mais on retient surtout sa préoccupation pour les questions sociales et politiques que l'on retrouve dans presque tous ses films. Ainsi Boat People, la dernière partie de sa trilogie vietnamienne est l'un de ses premiers films les plus connus. Il examine la situation des immigrants après la guerre du Viêt Nam.
Au milieu des années 1980, Hui poursuit son œuvre. Elle adapte un roman de Eileen Chang avec Love in a Fallen City en 1984. Elle poursuit les adaptations avec The Romance of Book & Sword (1987) et Princess Fragrance (1987) basés sur The Book and the Sword de Louis Cha.
En 1990, elle réalise un de ses films les plus importants, le semi-autobiographique Song of Exile sur la perte d'identité et la détresse d'une mère exilée et de sa fille confrontées aux différences culturelles. Comme dans le film, la mère de Hui était japonaise.
Après un bref retour à la télévision, Hui revient en 1995 avec Summer Snow sur une femme essayant de s'en sortir entre les problèmes familiaux quotidiens et un beau-père atteint de la maladie d'Alzheimer.
En 1997, elle reprend un autre roman de Eileen Chang avec Eighteen Springs sur des activistes chinois et hong-kongais des années 1970-90, qui est primé aux Golden Horse Awards.
En 2002, elle tourne July Rhapsody puis Goddess of Mercy en 2003 adapté d'un roman du romancier chinois Hai Yan.

Eight-year-old Law Chun-yi (who goes by the nickname Big Ears) lives with his parents and his sixteen-year-old brother Desmond in a shoe shop on Wing Lee Street in late 1960s Hong Kong. Chun-yi looks up to his brother, who is a champion runner at the local high school, earns top grades, is a talented musician, and is very popular; Chun-yi's parents and teachers often scold him for not being as good as his big brother. Desmond has a girlfriend, Flora, who comes from a wealthy family, and whose family moves away to the United States to escape the "lawless" situation in Hong Kong. Desmond gradually becomes aware of the inequalities in Hong Kong society of that time, both through interactions with a cocky British policeman who extorts money from his father in exchange for letting them keep their shop (and who insists that Desmond will never "make it big" because his English isn't good enough) and through his first time seeing the inside of Flora's family's mansion. Most of this is told through Chun-yi, the film's narrator.
