Gangs

1:00 7 April

Gangs is a realistic portrayal of troubled adolescent boys in the modern society. One critic hails "more realism than Hong Kong cinema can handle." This is a precursor to Ah Mon's critically acclaimed film Spacked Out. Gangs is a film which set a new trend in the cinema's treatment of Hong Kong's disillusioned youth and has established itself as a classic commentary on contemporary society, adolescence and the search for identity and acceptance.
