My Prince Edward

金都

Director & Writer: WONG, (Yee-Lam) Norris Cast: TANG, Stephy; CHU, Pak Hong; PAW, Hee-Ching; JIN, Kaijie

Serving countless newlyweds in Hong Kong’s go-to one-stop-shop of cheap wedding supplies doesn’t exempt Fong from social pressure to marry. Since nodding to Edward’s proposal, she has been pushed beyond limits by unaffordable housing, archaic customs, and intrusive in-laws. What befuddles her further is the reappearance of Shuwei, a mainlander she’s supposed to be divorced from out of a sham marriage that solved her coming-of-age hardship. Zeroing in on nuts and bolts of modern marriage, My Prince Edward pokes around fixated correlations of freedom with relationship status and geographic residence. Like a breath of fresh air out of the breathless space it navigates, the whimsical gem contributes a rare humane take on the worldly metropolis's divisions with humor and wisdom. As Fong redefines her best life and writer-director Norris Wong reclaims her home city's narrative from outsiders in this debut, their courage sparks thrills and will make you wholeheartedly cheer for a woman’s independence and a new age in Hong Kong cinema.

“...shows that the boundaries hardest to overcome are often the ones which we uncritically accept or unwittingly set ourselves.”

— Maja Korbecka, EasternKicks.com

“This whimsical, comic and profoundly human story has the elements of a fable and love story, as a woman discovers who she really needs.”

“The love triangle doesn’t map exactly schematically onto geopolitical state of HK-Wong is more subtle a filmmaker than that...there is a seething rage at this woman’s inability (at times unwillingness) to define her own path in life that’s keenly palpable.”

— Sean Gilman, In Review Online

“A mosaic of small, telling moments...builds an intricate world of lost dreams and disappointments...Wong’s humor and sympathy for her characters make them people to care about.”

— Daniel Eagan, The Film Stage
