A fresh new Chinese comedy is out starring very known Yun-Fat Chow. Some days ago I posted on of his older movie from back 1987 “City on Fire“. This new comedy release few moments ago by ESPiSE and has very good rating and good reviews. It seems to be a good funny romantic drama starring older people. The quality of ESPiSE can always be trusted, so enjoy another Asian flick. English subs included.

Featuring a first-class cast of China’s great actors – Siqin Gaowa, Chow Yun-fat, Vicky Zhao Wei and legendary Lisa Lu – The Postmodern Life of My Aunt tells the story of old-fashioned Ye Rutang (Gaowa), a single woman in her sixties who struggles to maintain a dignified life amid the dangers of Shanghai, a city that seems to have become the receptacle for all kinds of con men. The first to pull a scam on Ye is her twelve-year-old nephew Kuan-kuan (Guan Wenshuo). He moves to her old-fashioned apartment after breaking a leg in an accident, but when he can’t bear her stinginess, he runs away and pretends to have been kidnapped in order to get the ransom money. Then comes Pan Zhichang (Chow), an amateur opera singer, who tricks Ye into a relationship and steals most of her savings with a complicated swindle involving speculation in the price of cemetery plots.

Focusing the film on the experience of women in her home country and around the world, Hui sketches a fine portrait of changing values. She situates her story in a precise cultural moment – a time where the past seems to carry meaning only in the stubborn memories of individuals. This charming social tale takes an original approach to issues including the atrophy of mores in a society that is no longer egalitarian; its freshness rests in its ironic yet compassionate look at its curious protagonists.
