2003 - The Year in Review
|
2003 was the year that, for me, and for many fans, Hong Kong Cinema died. With the loss of Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, two of the biggest reasons I watched Hong Kong movies disappeared. There really isn't much more to say about the year in review, and in any case I don't really feel particularly motivated to look any further. Maybe next year, things will look better. So instead of any additional commentary, find below a list of Box Office figures, and award winners from the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Golden Bauhina Awards, the Golden Horse Awards (Taiwan), and the Hong Kong Critics Society winners. |
