Tsui Hark, accompanied by Shi Nan Sun, was at 13th Pusan International Film Festival on October 5 to give a talk "My Life, My Cinema". His cosmopolitan comedy She Ain't Mean/All About Women was to premiere worldwide at the festival but had to be withdrawn at the last minute as its approval from Mainland censors was delayed owing to National Day holiday.
To Tsui Hark, a filmmaker should keep exploring all kinds of possibilities, and hence he has been experimenting with different kinds of films such as Legend of Zu, Missing, and She Ain't Mean, rather than being limited to one genre, and trying out new technology and filming equipment. A filmmaker should experiment, reinvent, and find their own niche.
Tsui Hark directed Missing and She Ain't Mean for he believes that Mainland film industry needs more variety as most are just following the trend, which might lead to some awkward situations and saturation of the market.
Tsui Hark does have the intention of doing a remake of New Dragon Inn, which was announced several years back. However, as his other movie Di Ren Jie/Judge Dee is set to begin production next April, he is still debating if he should go ahead with New Dragon Inn due to time constraints. And the talented director has just completed the script of another comedy. EastDay
