From his emergence in the Hong Kong New Wave to his enduring collaborations with many of the defining filmmakers of contemporary cinema, Leung reflects on his roles, working methods, and creative instincts that have shaped his singular screen presence.

This conversation was moderated by FLC Vice President of Programming, Florence Almozini.
