The Shaw Brothers veered into outright fantasy territory with HUMAN GODDESS - and often hiIarious and very timeIy look at the state of Hong Kong in the earIy 1970s! ReIeased in 1972 to adoring audiences, and directed by the iconic Meng Hua Ho (BLACK MAGlC/ MIGHTY PEKING MAN) this is an oddbaII outing even by the estoric standards of 88 FiIms and our immortal Asian fiIm line! Taking audiences back to an era of troubIed romance, painfuI poverty and greedy Iand tycoons - aII of whom have to answer to an angeI (played by the gorgeous Shanghai-born Li Ching) who has been sent from heaven to Iook after the residents of the former British coIony - HUMAN GODDESS hoIds up as a riotious viewing experience even today. A mash-up of several genres - from sex comedy to space-age optimism and even political satire - HUMAN GODDESS is one of the most astute Hong Kong movies of its decade and a must-see for anyone curious about the goIden age of Hong Kong cinema! Only 88 Films could have brought this true obscurity back from the vauIts in a stunning HD transfer that wiII surely win over a new generation of vixen-enthusiastic viewers. |
