Durian, Durian5:00 24 March Durian, Durian is an extension of the life of Fan, the illegal immigrant girl in Little Cheung (Chan's previous movie). Fan strikes up a friendship with fellow immigrant Yan, a prostitute who must endure the harsh conditions of her job on one side of the border (HK) while she tries to turn her profits into a success on the other side of the border (China). The title of the movie comes from the pungent smelling tropical fruit and gives an interesting interpretation of the immigrant life in Hong Kong. Most of the script is improvised, and the movie intimately ties Little Cheung with the relationship between Hong Kong and mainland China. Director: Fruit Chan Gor |
