Aberdeen (Hong Kong, 2014)

The extended Cheng family, which, like Aberdeen harbor's Chinese namesake, represents today's "Little Hong Kong" and its myriad of contradictions between traditions and modernity; superstitions and materialism; family and individuality.

Aberdeen, named after a part of Hong Kong, explores the relationships and personal struggles of a typical Hong Kong family. It does an amazing job of showing off the towering metropolis its set in, and the use of colors makes me absolutely drool. Gorgeous stuff. A good film for those who like drama's that focuses on a group of people rather than just one main character. 

Genre: Drama
