bc’s Arra Aranas and Jade Manalac checked out the red carpet at the 12th Asian Film Awards. Some very beautifully dressed ladies and elegant gentlemen and some people wearing outfits where you assume they had been paid a fortune to wear something so hideous or that they need some friends who will say “Really we know you love it, but it just doesn’t suit you”. The ‘beauty’ of fashion is we can all agree to disagree.

Not Louis Malle’s classic but the latest from director Sylvia Chang who, after years of absence from the helm, digs deep into her Taiwanese roots to tell a story about growing up, and letting go. Isabella Leong (Isabella, 30th HKIFF) plays an uncertain painter, Mei, who drifted apart from her tour guide brother after leaving Liudau, the off-shore island of Taiwan, with their mother. Mei falls for an underachieving boxer, and begins years of soul searching in the city, where the siblings reunite under unexpected circumstances. What was remembered and forgotten are lessons that have profound consequences in this emotional drama.
