Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair
Made in Hong Kong
香港製造
Co-presented by AMOMENT BOOKS
Young, broke, and already discarded, Made in Hong Kong captures the thrill of adolescence on the edge of collapse. Fruit Chan’s raw 1997 landmark is a bruised coming-of-age story where romance, violence, and hopelessness collide.
High-school dropout and would-be Triad tough Autumn Moon (Sam Lee, in a star-making debut) drifts through the overcrowded housing estates and back alleys of Hong Kong, collecting debts for gangsters and seeing little hope for himself or the city around him. When he falls for the gravely ill Ping and becomes entangled with the vulnerable Susan, youthful restlessness spirals toward heartbreak and despair. The first independent film released in post-Handover Hong Kong, Fruit Chan’s atmospheric shoestring-budget breakthrough was shot on leftover 35mm short ends, giving it a jagged immediacy that mirrors the instability of its moment. A tough, pessimistic portrait of nihilistic youth and a city on the brink, Made in Hong Kong remains one of the defining works of modern Hong Kong cinema.
Part of Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair, a global series presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque.
年輕、貧窮、早早被世界遺棄,《香港製造》捕捉了青春在崩塌邊緣時那種危險而熾烈的躁動。陳果這部1997年的里程碑之作,以粗糲而真實的影像,描繪了一段愛情、暴力與絕望彼此交纏的殘酷成長故事。本片由劉德華投資及監製,僅以五十萬港幣的極低成本完成拍攝,全片拍攝團隊僅有五位工作人員。拍攝所使用的膠卷亦大多為過期底片,或由其他電影公司捐贈的剩餘「片尾」膠卷完成。
輟學少年「秋月」(李燦森 飾)遊蕩於香港擁擠的公共屋邨與陰暗後巷之間,替黑幫收債,在即將到來的未來裡幾乎看不到任何希望。當他愛上身患絕症的阿屏,並與脆弱敏感的蘇珊產生糾葛時,青春的迷惘與壓抑逐漸滑向無法挽回的悲劇與絕望。
作為香港回歸後首部上映的獨立電影,《香港製造》以極低成本拍攝,甚至大量使用剩餘的35毫米膠片邊角料完成製作。這種粗糙、破碎而近乎紀錄片般的質感,也讓影片與那個時代香港社會的不安與動盪形成了強烈共鳴。影片以冷峻而悲觀的目光凝視迷失的年輕人,以及一座處於時代裂縫邊緣的城市,至今仍被視為香港現代電影最具代表性的作品之一。
《香港製造》曾榮獲第34屆金馬獎最佳劇情片、最佳導演(陳果)等多項大獎,並入選洛迦諾影展等國際電影節。李燦森亦憑藉本片一舉成名,成為九十年代香港電影最具代表性的年輕面孔之一。
