1983 • Hong Kong • Directed by Alex Cheung Kwok-Ming
A Hong Kong science fiction film? Despite the worldwide success of Star Wars and Star Trek, science fiction is one genre which has seemingly passed the world of Hong Kong cinema by. Well, not entirely! Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is an extremely rare example of science fiction Hong Kong-style, and it is unlike any sci-fi flick you’ve ever seen before. The gorgeous Cherie Chung is the victim of an alien abduction; the wacky Yi Lei is a detective whose strange behavior makes him want to leave this world and enter the next. A chance encounter leads the two to enter a suicide pact, with results that touch on such issues as the nature of fame and the reality of science fiction. It’s truly out of this world, and one of the more unusual movies to emerge from the New Wave that swept Hong Kong cinema in the early 1980s. This is the Cantonese version.
