AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
With over thirty feature films to her credit, Ann Hui is one of the living legends of Asian cinema. Across a wide range of genres, her work pays sustained attention to the question of exile, to Hong Kong history and identity, as evidenced by the three films brought together for the first time in this Blu-ray™ collection: her debut The Secret (1979), a mystical thriller with a fragmented narrative; her major success Boat People (1982) , a political drama profoundly moving in its humanity; and the romantic Love in a Fallen City (1984) , which recounts a little-known chapter of Hong Kong's past with rare accuracy.
Available in a 2-Blu-ray set
