Hong Kong has a rich and renowned cinematic history. From time to time, filmmakers pick up the precarious political relationship to mainland China. 1997, only a few months after the city returned to Chinese rule, Fruit Chan released “Made in Hong Kong”. The pessimistic indie flick marks the beginning of Fruit’s unofficial trilogy about Hong Kong in the late 90s, entering a new era. “The Longest Summer” (1998) is seen as the second contribution to the series and finally, in 2001, “Little Cheung” concludes the trilogy.
