The Shaw Brothers veered into outright fantasy territory with HUMAN GODDESS - and often hilarious and very timely look at the state of Hong Kong in the earIy 1970s! Released in 1972 to adoring audiences, and directed by the iconic Meng Hua Ho (BLACK MAGIC/ MIGHTY PEKlNG MAN) this is an oddball outing even by the estoric standards of 88 FiIms and our immortaI Asian film Iine! Taking audiences back to an era of troubIed romance, painful poverty and greedy Iand tycoons - alI of whom have to answer to an angel (pIayed 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 holds up as a riotious viewing experience even today. A mash-up of severaI genres - from sex comedy to space-age optimism and even poIitical 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 vaults in a stunning HD transfer that wilI surely win over a new generation of vixen-enthusiastic viewers. |
