When German filmmaker Marco Sparmberg moved to Hong Kong three years ago, he had visions of indulging in the kind of cinematic life that spawned great directors like John Woo and Tsui Hark. It turns out that particular movie left cinemas a long time ago.
?Hong Kong is not a film city,? says Sparmberg with an obvious tinge of disappointment in his voice. ?I had dreams of the 1980s, but things have changed.?
In the 1980s, Hong Kong was one of the world?s film capitals, churning out hundreds of blockbusters and B-films every year, including many that reinterpreted established film genres in inventive and exhilarating ways.
