Synopsis 113 minutes :
Long before the world discovered Jackie
Chan and
Sammo Hung, they were members of a children’s
Peking
opera troupe performing in a Hong Kong
amusement
park. Painted Faces is the colorful story of
the
1960’s adolescent years of Jackie, Sammo, and
other
moppets who grew up to transtorm Hong Kong
action
cinema. It was a tough existence, undergoing
the
intensive acrobatic training under Master Yu
(played
by Sammo Hung). Cheng Pei-pei is radiant as a
Cantonese opera star, in a role that is a
transition
between her days as Shaw Brothers’ number one
swordswoman and her evil nanny in Crouching
Tiger,
Hidden Dragon. Painted Faces swept the 1988
Hong Kong
Film Awards and Taiwan Golden Horse ceremonies,
variously winning Best Drama, Script, Director,
Cinematography, and two Best Actor statues for
Sammo
Hung. |
