A Simple Life

Andy and Pete continue our 10 Year Anniversaries series with an episode that’s a crossover with our next series – a look at director Ann Hui. We’re looking at her 2011 film ‘A Simple Life,’ starring Andy Lau and Deannie Ip. It’s a touching and quiet film about a maid and the young man who’s family she’s been working for nearly 60 years, and how their relationship evolves when she decides to retire to an old folks’ home. The pace may not be for everyone, but we were both really touched by the film. Tune in to hear our conversation!

Where Do We Go Now? • The Next Reel

We continue our 10 Year Anniversaries series with Nadine Labaki’s 2011 film ‘Where Do We Go Now?’ Labaki uses a touch of magical realism and musical elements to weave a tale of an isolated village where the woman try to keep the men from going to war with one another. We had a great time with this movie, which surprised both of us with its tone that balances comedy and drama well. It’s a fun conversation too! Tune in!
