As Tears Go By (*Not suitable for children under 16*)
AS TEARS GO BY is a 1988 Hong Kong action drama film that was the directorial debut of Wong Kar-wai, starring Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung and Jacky Cheung.
Critics have compared the film to Martin Scorsese’s ‘Mean Streets’, as the central plot revolves around a small time gangster (Lau) trying to keep his friend (Cheung) out of trouble.
It also screened at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, during Directors’ Fortnight. [ Wikipedia ]

Cutie and the Boxer
The film is about the difficult 40-year relationship between Ushio and Noriko Shinohara – Japanese-born husband and his wife – the two artists who live in New York. Ushio Shinohara is a small player in the contemporary art world, known for painting with a pair of paint-soaked boxing gloves. Noriko, who is more than 20 years younger than Ushio, set aside her own career to raise their son Alex and serve as Ushio’s unpaid assistant, receptionist and chef. Noriko has also worked on her own art, a character she created named Cutie. Cutie’s story is told in a comic-book narrative, where she comes to New York and falls for a broke older artist named Bullie.
