It’s hardly as if I’ve stopped banging on about it, but as part of BFI Southbank’s short season to bring in the Chinese New Year offer’s another chance to see A Simple Life (actually ahead of it’s Hong Kong release!)…

Directed by Ann Hui and with brilliant performances by Deanie Yip and Andy Lau, this moving film is littered with star-studded cameos – including a hilarious appearance by Tsui Hark. Unmissable for fans of Hong Kong cinema, it’ll also appeal to anyone that like intelligent filmmaking.

There’ll be two screenings in mid February. One’s a senior matinee, so I suggest getting your grey wig now in case tickets for the other showing have sold out!

The season will also include Confucius, Woman Basketball Player No. 5 (a freebie for Seniors – wtf?) a special selection of rarely seen documentaries under the banner Unseen China.
