...Rose,? ?Comrades: Almost a Love Story,? ?Fly Me to Polaris? and three or four moody-broodies from Kar-wai. But Hong Kong cinema didn?t earn its international cachet by dealing in delicate feelings and poignant renunciation. It got there with sex and violence, action and atrocity, deftly orchestrated mayhem - exactly the elements that the press continues to exploit long after the Golden Age of Hong Kong films got tarnished. And with exactly the same rampaging, remorseless vigor...
