“Suffused with the gentle, unforced humanity viewers have come to expect from Hong Kong helmer Ann Hui,” writes Variety’s Justin Chang, “A Simple Life is a tender ode to the elderly, their caregivers and the mutual generosity of spirit that makes their limited time together worthwhile.” Deanie Ip won the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for her performance as a lifelong maid to a wealthy family. When she suffers a stroke, it’s up to the only family member in the city—a busy movie producer (Andy Lau)—to take care of her. This deeply moving achievement won awards around the world. Don’t miss cameos from such Hong Kong luminaries as Tsui Hark, Sammo Hung, Anthony Wong, and Chapman To.
