Golden Chicken (Hong Kong, 2001, 35 mm, 106 min.) Directed by Chun Chiu 'Samson' Leung, starring Sandra Ng, Eric Tsang, Andy Lau Showtime: Sandra Ng stars as Kum, a life-long prostitute ( "chicken" in Cantonese slang). Through an endless string of raunchy and embarrassing escapades, we follow her on her career. We first meet her in present day, as a mugger (Eric Tsang) holds her up at the ATM. But she has only 98 Hong Kong dollars in the bank, and then a power outage traps them for the night. Since they have nothing else to do, Kum tells the story of her wild life to her new friend, and, not too coincidentally, it happens to mirror Hong Kong's recent turbulent history. |
