Fulfilling commercial requirements while elevating formula with a lush sense of style, it sings with the painterly cinematography of Christopher Doyle and David Chung as Tam’s dream-like direction bridges the distance between the bullet ballets of a John Woo and the festering darkness of a David Lynch. It is the blue jewel in the crown of the Hong Kong heroic bloodshed sub-genre, shining bright to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container mx-auto my-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-4 md:w-7\/12 mx-auto text-center font-body text-base\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e                                   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the filmmakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"C9DxTc\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA native of Guangdong, in 1967 he joined TVB as a cinematographer. In 1975, he became a director and a scriptwriter, and made the well-known artistic dramas such as ''CID'' and ''Seven Women''. One of the episodes titles ''The Star Map'' in his TV work ''Wonderfun'' even won the Silver Medal in International Film and TV Festival of New York. In the same year, Tan was sent by TVB to San Francisco, the United States, to further study the techniques of film-making and editing. In 1977, he left TVB to become a film director. His works ''The Sword'', ''Love Massacre'' and ''Nomad'' were characterized by an innovative usage of the film language, and assured Tan's position as one of the representatives of Hong Kong New Wave Directors. Tan has been concentrating on film editing most recently. He won the Best Editing Awards in the 28th and 31st Golden Horse Awards with ''Days of Being Wild'' and ''Ashes of Time'' respectively, both directed by Wong Kar-Wai. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.collectiveeye.org\/pages\/screenings\"\u003eHost a Screening and Book the Filmmaker at your Event\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_quote\"\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"gmail_quote\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-loaded=\"true\" data-page-number=\"1\" id=\"pageContainer1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-canvas-width=\"745.4456470588237\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patrick Tam","offers":[{"title":"University \u0026 College DVD (with PPR*)","offer_id":48938668294452,"sku":"MHITER-U","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Site License","offer_id":48938668327220,"sku":"MHITER-D","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD + DSL (w\/ PPR)","offer_id":48938668359988,"sku":"MHITER-DD","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0133\/2562\/files\/mhiterposter.jpg?v=1762399522","url":"https:\/\/www.collectiveeye.org\/products\/my-heart-is-that-eternal-rose","provider":"Collective Eye Films","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
