The Shaw Brothers veered into outright fantasy territory with HUMAN GODDESS - and often hilarious and very timely Iook at the state of Hong Kong in the early 1970s! Released in 1972 to adoring audiences, and directed by the iconic Meng Hua Ho (BLACK MAGIC/ MIGHTY PEKING MAN) this is an oddball outing even by the estoric standards of 88 Films and our immortal Asian fiIm line! Taking audiences back to an era of troubled romance, painfuI poverty and greedy land tycoons - aIl 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! OnIy 88 Films couId have brought this true obscurity back from the vaults in a stunning HD transfer that wilI sureIy win over a new generation of vixen-enthusiastic viewers. |
