Sui yuet san tau (2010)

Sui yuet san tau: Directed by Alex Law. With Simon Yam, Sandra Kwan Yue Ng, Aarif Rahman, Buzz Chung. The ups and downs of a Hong Kong family and their shoe shop as seen through the eyes of their eccentric eight-year-old son.

“Echoes of the Rainbow provides an autobiographical look back at 60u0026#39;s Hong Kong for the director. Trouble with films like this is that they will always mean more to the maker than the audience. Thereu0026#39;s a lot to appreciate, from the wonderful recreation of the 60u0026#39;s, the well chosen soundtrack, and a heartfelt performance from the young lead. Outside of that, it is sometimes episodic and melodramatic, but luckily never for too long. Whenever a director makes a film like this it is both uplifting and depressing. With all the memories squeezed into two hours, real or not, itu0026#39;s very predictable. The best parts were when it focused on the young boy, being punished at school, going to the cinema, faking autographs etc. Overall a nice film.”
