The Ghost Hero
Dirs/Scrs: Yeung Kung-leong, Ling Wan The multi-talented Yeung often plays several roles in a film, from directing to scripting to acting, as he does in The Ghost Hero. Here, partnering with Ling Wan, he reanimates the story of a vengeful phantom in The Dead Comes Alive, telling it with gorgeously atmospheric mise-en-scène. He again plays the titled spectre with formalised grandeur, enhanced by the work of Tse Tsak-Yuen, one of Cantonese cinema's top make-up artists. |
