In Cantonese and Some Mandarin Language with English and Chinese Subtitles
In a filmic career spanning some four decades, Hong Kong director Ann Hui has made critical darlings and box office hits, as well as widely panned flops. But behind the accolades and pummelling from critics, Hui is as human as anyone, battling anxieties about life and career—though always maintaining her characteristic good humour and humility.
Keep Rolling offers an up-close and personal look at the trials and tribulations of an artist who has devoted her entire life to her craft. Rather than gloss over the foibles and insecurities of the documentary subject, Keep Rolling shines a light on them, revealing the complexities and contradictions of a modern-day maestro.
人声鼎沸的红地毯，一位年过七十精力充沛的短发女人举步生风迈向闪光灯舞台。红地毯淡出变成泥泞小路，伴着混浊的脚步声，她大步流星踏入香港新界的电影片场。于她而言，荣和艰辛不过是接近电影世界的不同路径。出生于中国东北，成长于澳门，受教于香港，她秉持中国文化的根基，沉迷西方文学，继而远赴伦敦进修。终于，她找到了电影。透过电影她得以融入香港这座华洋杂处的城市，得以与暧昧疏离的母亲和解，得以探索自己和这座城市的难民身份。电影亦找到了她。她师承胡金铨，处女作开辟香港电影新浪潮，无人问津的小人物们成为她镜头下的主角。四十载光影生涯，从获奖无数到跌入谷底，潮起潮落间，她对电影，对香港的一片赤诚始终未变。在孤独的求索路上，电影伴她活出人生的圆满。
