HK film buffs, get ready for San Francisco Film Society's second annual Hong Kong Cinema showcase. Featuring internationally renowned actors (Andy Lau) as well as up-and-coming filmmakers, this is a weekend of fun screenings.

Comrades, Almost a Love Story (Tian Mi Mi, 1996) is having a retrospective on September 22. Starring the enthralling Maggie Cheung (In the Mood for Love) and pop star Leon Lai, it's a complicated romantic drama between two Chinese mainland immigrants who head to Hong Kong to create a better life. It's one of my personal HK favorites from the 90s and if you haven't seen this yet, you should take advantage of this rare screening. If you're a Teresa Teng fan, this film is a nostalgic treat in more ways than one.
