More now on Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, who's always used martial arts as a source of inspiration. Action films remain the bulk of his filmography spanning thirty years. The director has surprised audiences with his latest cinematic endeavour, a comedy. In fact, comical elements and women regularly feature in Tsui's films, none more so than in his latest release "All About Women" that we had a look at earlier in the show.

Tsui Hark has refused to be tied down to a particular film genre. He's a chameleon, directing a varying style from eccentric to hilarious. An aesthetically daring cinema, engaged with the realities of contemporary Hong Kong has been the hallmark of Tsui's films. His stories always feature a distinct female character.
