How Wong Kar-wai's short The Hand made the 2004 anthology film Eros worth watching
This is the latest instalment in a feature series reflecting on instances of East meets West in world cinema, including China-US co-productions. Anthology films consist of several shorter works, often connected by a common theme or wraparound story. Sometimes they have multiple directors, such as 1989's New York Stories, which features tales by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Woody Allen. Named after the Greek god of love and desire, Eros (2004) explores different ideas of eroticism. It is an international effort, with contributions from Hong Kong's Wong Kar-wai , America's Steven Soderbergh (replacing Spain's Pedro Almodóvar) and Italy's Michelangelo Antonioni It is a lopsided proposition. Antonioni, who made 1960s classics such as L'Avventura and Blow-up, was by far the biggest name at the time, with Wong and Soderbergh recruited as fans of his work. Play Apparently, Soderbergh just wanted to be on a poster alongside the Italian legend. Wong, meanwhile, called Antonioni 'the guiding light for me and filmmakers of my generation, so I'm deeply honoured to participate in this project and show him my gratitude'.

Opera Hong Kong brings The Merry Widow to the stage
Opera Hong Kong is set to bring a treat to the city's classical music scene this summer with two performances of Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár's beloved operetta, The Merry Widow, at City Hall on August 15 and 16. Advertisement For those intimidated by or unfamiliar with the art form, an operetta offers an inviting first step: short, humorous and more conversational in music and story than capital-O opera. Based on an 1861 French comic play, L'attaché d'ambassade, by Henri Meilhac, The Merry Widow has earned a reputation for being as approachable as it is melodically rich. Soprano Candice Chung is part of an all-local cast of young singers from Hong Kong appearing in The Merry Widow. Photo: Handout Premiering in Vienna in 1905, it tells the story of the recently widowed Hanna Glawari, in the fictional nation of Pontevedro, who has recently inherited a vast fortune from her late husband. With the country's finances in peril, the local nobles cook up a clever plan: to marry Hanna off to a fellow Pontevedrian, so her late husband's millions stay within their borders, setting the stage for the ensuing shenanigans. Opera Hong Kong has pulled together an all-local cast of young singers from within its own ranks for the performance. Leading the show are sopranos Candice Chung Ka-yan and Rianne Lau Cheuk-ying, sharing the role of Hanna, with tenors Henry Ngan Ka-lok and Lam Kwok Ho as her would-be suitor, Count Danilo, and baritone Albert Lim Chun as the scheming Baron Zeta. Soprano Rianne Lau will share the role of Hanna with fellow singer Candice Chung for the Opera Hong Kong performances.
