NOMAD 烈火青春

4K Restoration / North America Premiere

1982 | 1hr 36min | In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles | Dir Patrick Tam

Description


"Nomad" describes the sexuality and love of today's young generation. The scene of Ken Tong and Pat Ha making love on the tram arises controversy when it is showed. In contrast, the love between Leslie Cheung and Cecilia Yip is a kind of tender and pure. Cecilia falls in love with Leslie in the first sight, they sympathy each other and then sleep in a reasonable way. This kind of love is more graceful and sweet. Besides sexuality and sex, this film also talks about the infiltration of Japanese culture into Hong Kong. Leslie is westernized but old fashion inside, Cecilia is influenced by Japanese culture and ambitious. This shows the characteristics of Hong Kong's unique culture.

Synopsis:
Feeling oppressed in a post-2019 Hong Kong, Cheung Yuk Fan resigns from her job as an arts administrator and rents a flat in a subdivided unit in an industrial building. Determined to lead a more solitary lifestyle as she starts remote work running her online store, she finds her peace (and perhaps, her mind) disturbed by the beautiful sound of piano playing next door.
