Challengers—Blurring the Lines of Platonic and Romantic Love
What happens to an inseparable bond when love for competing morphs into competing for love?
Seven Women: Miu Kam-Fung
Miu Kam-fung, who plays the film’s titular character, addresses her identity as housewife and actress in Patrick Tam’s commentary on the dangers of rampant consumerism, seen as a defining moment for contemporary Hong Kong. In its studied references to Godard, Tam’s work buzzes with modern life—supermarkets, billboards, television—and juxtaposes these references with questions about marital infidelity, middle-class morality, and even political sentiment.
