Q&A with Ray Yeung and Tai Bo, 2024 Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Awardee
Ray Yeung’s gut-wrenching tale of forbidden love between two married men in their golden years is the kind of movie that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Pak (Tai Bo, also in Yeung’s All Shall Be Well), a Hong Kong cabbie on the verge of hanging up his keys, and Hoi (Ben Yuen), a divorced retiree, find themselves drawn into a secret affair, stealing moments of intimacy in the steam-shrouded sanctuary of a bathhouse. In a society where same-sex love is still very much taboo, the two men have to keep their trysts on the down-low, but when genuine feelings start to bubble up, their carefully compartmentalized lives threaten to boil over. Yeung, who crafted the film from real-life accounts, shines a light on the isolation and heartache faced by those who dare to love outside the lines, delivering a powerful and unforgettable portrait of a love that refuses to be denied.
Yeung's exquisite and wonderfully acted film is full of such quietly powerful moments.
—Gary M. Kramer, San Fransisco Bay Times
This film, bruising yet respectful in its honesty, portrays the still existing divide between the personal and public experience of being gay.
