We know, you think of Honk Kong films and you think of chop-socky extravaganzas by John Woo and his ilk. But of course it's not quite that simple. Take Ann Hui. Born in Manchuria to a Chinese father and Japanese mother, Hui moved first to Macao and later Hong Kong, where she studied at the University. She then studied film in London, wokred in television, assisting King Hu. While still working in TV, she directed "The Boy From Vietnam," in 1978, the first of a trilogy of films about Vietnam fefugees. She's since done martial arts films, multi-generational family melodramas, and contemplative films about growing older.
