歲月神偷 ('Echoes of the Rainbow') wins the Crystal Bear in Berlin.
Here's a movie I want to see...歲月神偷 (Echoes of the Rainbow). It just won the Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, an award that honors movies that pass on cultural heritage. This film stars Simon Yam and Sandra Ng as parents of two boys, one of whom likes to wear a fish bowl on his head, in 1960s Hong Kong. Despite hardships, the family perseveres, as such movies go. Nice to see something outside the triad/action/kung-fu genres getting recognition. There is hope!
