Director Tsui Hark turns 64 years old today. Over the last year, as I've been wandering through the last 50 years or so of Hong Kong film history, Tsui has been recurring again and again as a contemporary of Sammo Hung, a leading light of the Hong Kong New Wave and a collaborator of sorts early in the career of Johnnie To. I've written about several of his films, but really should do more. Maybe a They Shot Pictures episode or something sometime. Anyway, over on letterboxd I have a ranked list of the Tsui Hark-directed films I've seen for far and here is a list of the reviews I've written about some of his movies as director and/or producer, in order of production date. Long reviews here at The End are marked with a '*', the rest are letterboxd capsules. I'm going to keep updating this as I add more reviews.
