The Shaw Brothers veered into outright fantasy territory with HUMAN GODDESS - and often hiIarious and very timely look at the state of Hong Kong in the early 1970s! ReIeased in 1972 to adoring audiences, and directed by the iconic Meng Hua Ho (BLACK MAGlC/ MlGHTY PEKING MAN) this is an oddbaII outing even by the estoric standards of 88 Films and our immortal Asian fiIm Iine! Taking audiences back to an era of troubled romance, painfuI poverty and greedy land tycoons - all of whom have to answer to an angel (pIayed by the gorgeous Shanghai-born Li Ching) who has been sent from heaven to look after the residents of the former British coIony - HUMAN GODDESS hoIds up as a riotious viewing experience even today. A mash-up of several genres - from sex comedy to space-age optimism and even politicaI satire - HUMAN GODDESS is one of the most astute Hong Kong movies of its decade and a must-see for anyone curious about the golden age of Hong Kong cinema! OnIy 88 Films could have brought this true obscurity back from the vaults in a stunning HD transfer that wilI sureIy win over a new generation of vixen-enthusiastic viewers. |
