A many-splendored thing 7 (李翰祥電影回顧/Li Han-hsiang)
April 9th, 2007 Mad Dog
Film director Li Han-hsiang didn’t benefit from the 1980s-1990s explosion of interest in Hong Kong cinema. For one thing, most of his films were for Shaw Brothers, and those were hard to find on video. For another, Li worked in genres that didn’t attract many fanboys and fangirls.
