Ann Hui follows her award-winning The Way We Are with a far darker look into life in Hong Kong’s “City of Sadness”. While The Way We Are followed the humble but happy goings of a typical Hong Kong family living among the cavernous high-rises of Tin Shui Wai, 2009’s Night and Fog covers in equally realistic fashion the other side of the story that earned the city its grisly reputation. Based on a real-life murder-suicide family tragedy that occurred in 2004, Night and Fog is nothing short of devastating, unfolding an emotionally harrowing account of a struggling lower-class family destroyed by violence and poverty. The filmmakers conducted extensive research into the family’s background to offer a faithful retelling of the shocking tragedy. Simon Yam (Election) makes a frighteningly convincing turn as the abusive husband, while Zhang Jingchu (The Beast Stalker) inspires great sympathy as the weary battered wife. Uncompromising realistic and deeply humanistic, Night and Fog calls attention to the plight of Hong Kong’s lower class, particularly Mainland immigrants and battered women, and to the state of Hong Kong’s social services.
Mainland woman Hiu Ling (Zhang Jingchu) married older Hong Kong man Sum (Simon Yam), believing that he would improve the lives of her and her family, but things turn out to be far from the truth. Sum, though not without his charms, turns out to be a suspicious, aggressive, and emotionally unstable man, and the situation only worsens after he loses his livelihood. They and their two adorable twin girls barely squeak by on his monthly welfare pension, but Sum is leery of Ling’s attempts to keep a part-time job. Unable to take Sum’s violent treatment anymore, Ling takes refuge at a women’s shelter, and seeks help on how she can leave her abusive husband and raise her kids alone, but there are few doors open for a poor Mainland immigrant.
