Filmorphosis: Wong Fei-pang’s Creative Perseverance
An Odd Fish
Wong Fei-pang
Hong Kong / DCP / 95’ / In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
To dwell in the society is to live in a fish pond. When misfortune comes knocking, we merely stare, with no escape. Sze, who is always changing jobs, cannot fit in the society despite being willing to. Sze's elder brother, Chun, believes his job as an insurance agent does people good. Chun has learnt to adapt living in the big city until his friend’s sudden death. Their father, On, a night shift security guard employed by a university, lives a life in stagnation and boredom. This is a city where life is heavy. Such heaviness has nothing to do with choice, it is inevitable.
