The time has come to pick the best films of 2018 that saw the light of day in Hong Kong, as selected by Time Out’s film critics. Does Alfonso Cuarón’s stirring drama Roma make the cut? Could Black Panther power on to the list? Did Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s updated take on A Star is Born cut the mustard? And was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri really released this year? Spoiler yes, yes, yes, and we know, right? Feels like ages ago.Without further ado, here’s our pick of the best 20 films released last best films of 20181. A Quiet Place A great argument for noise-cancelling snacks in cinemas, John Krasinski’s ace sci-fi thriller sparked a debate around the etiquette of popcorn-eating. Was it okay to munch noisily during the film’s frequent pin-drop moments? Did shovelling the stuff directly into your maw distract from this hushed tale of a family surrounded by voracious space bastards who hunt by sound? The sequel is coming. Let battle recommence!2. A Star is Born Bradley Cooper stars and directs in this well-trodden fable about fame, recruiting a surprisingly unassuming Lady Gaga as his foil and love interest. She delivers one of this year’s most nuanced performances, as well as co-writing the film’s inescapable soundtrack. Oscars will surely follow. Possibly most of Black PantherWith its killer Kendrick Lamar soundtrack, eye-popping afrofuturist world and some stupidly charismatic performances, Black Panther is sleek, fast-moving and tons of fun. We walked away wanting to see Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o, and Londoners Letitia Wright and Daniel Kaluuya in another superhero movie as soon as possible – which thanks to the epic Wakandan bits of Avengers Infinity War, we shortly DistinctionThe third film by Hong Kong’s most accomplished young director, Jevons Au, Distinction is a gentle excoriation of the Hong Kong education system. Set in a special-needs school, Au takes aim at mindsets that prioritise rote learning over creativity and that see these rare institutions as places to be avoided rather than cherished. 5. First ManForget the bad-faith controversy surrounding the number of American flags planted in La La Land wunderkind Damien Chazelle’s intimate epic He’s on to something more soulful. His intimate Neil Armstrong story mines a pride born out of smarts, imagination and competence. It’s the right stuff that should fuel true Shoplifters Japanese giant Kore-Eda Hirokazu won the Palme d’Or for his lovely, melancholy urban fable about poverty and family. It’s set in contemporary Tokyo but could easily be transplanted to Dickensian London, revolving around a surrogate clan who scrape an improvised life together on the margins. With its warm, beating heart and strong sense of social conscience, it feels all too Lady Bird Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan make a mighty double-act in this sharply realised and often hilarious sorta-autobiographical movie set in Gerwig’s hometown of Sacramento. The writer-director, who scored her first Oscar nominations for it, gets the best from Laurie Metcalf and Tracy Letts Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri The first part of the year belonged to the ever-ace Frances McDormand, who won an Oscar for her brilliantly salty turn as a mum who turns to unorthodox means to get justice for her murdered daughter. The tricky blend of big laughs and deep melancholy is executed perfectly by Martin McDonagh In Bruges.9. Men on the DragonA summer hit, Men on the Dragon won audiences over with its unusually rare in modern Hong Kong films sense of optimism and gentle humour. The film follows four middle-aged men roped into their company’s dragon boat team, each confronting a personal crisis. With its relatable writing about issues ordinary Hongkongers face – whether getting tickets to a Cantopop concert or emotional openness – this is an endearing Mission Impossible – FalloutWhile other franchises fall by the wayside, Mission Impossible just seems to go from strength to strength, powered by slick storytelling and Tom Cruise’s willingness to lob himself off tall buildings. It’s the Duracell Bunny of blockbusters – and part six was the best No. 1 Chung Ying StreetWinner of the Grand Prix at the Osaka Asian Film Festival, No. 1 Chung Ying Street juxtaposed Hong Kong’s 1967 Leftist Riots with 2014’s Umbrella Revolution, raising pertinent questions about Hong Kong’s past, present and Katie Yu12. Project GutenburgAlthough various elements from Felix Chong’s second directorial feature feel lifted from other films we won’t say which to avoid obvious spoilers this was still the most accomplished big-budget Hong Kong movie of the year. Leads Aaron Kwok and Chow Yun-fat sparkle throughout and the movie’s slick depiction of currency counterfeiting is Roma If there was a grumble over this gorgeous, Netflix-released domestic epic, it’s that more people couldn’t see it on the big screen. On the upside, it’ll be on the streaming site forever. It’ll be worth revisiting too, with director Alfonso Cuarón conjuring heart-shaking HereditaryThis cracking debut from New York director Ari Aster divided horror aficionados, but for our money, it was the scariest film of the year. It was also beautifully crafted, filled with ornate detail and had Toni Collette in career-best Phantom ThreadThe film that launched a thousand memes and the phrase just mushroom him’, Paul Thomas Anderson’s tailoring tale is an opulent joy. Daniel Day-Lewis is predictably terrific, but we love Lesley Manville as his formidable Somewhere Beyond the MistArguably Hong Kong’s most accomplished documentary filmmaker, Cheung King-wai’s 2009 film KJ won the Golden Horse awards for Best Documentary, Best Editing and Best Sound Effects – an unprecedented trio for a documentary at the prestigious Taiwanese film awards. This, his first full-length work of fiction is an intriguing crime drama is a grim and engrossing whydunit focused on a pregnant policewoman investigating the case of a young girl who has murdered her Widows A great year for arthouse directors making genre movies was rounded off with Steve McQueen’s take on a Lynda La Plante mini-series from the ’80s.

By Celia Cazale and Holmes Chan Ten years after a giant inflatable yellow duck captivated crowds in Hong Kong, the art installation returned to the city’s Victoria Harbour on Friday as a double-bill exhibition. People take photos of two large inflatable yellow ducks called “Double Duck” by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong on June 9, 2023. Photo Isaac Lawrence/AFP. The twin 18-metre-tall 59-feet sculptures by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman are part of the Rubber Duck series that has made appearances in major cities since its 2007 debut. The faddish artwork previously made headlines in Hong Kong for drawing huge audiences and for accidental deflations, including when it shrank to a flat disk next to a ferry pier in 2013. Following stormy weather early Friday before they were released onto the water, Hofman joked that the two ducks “took a bath this morning”. “In a world where we suffered from a pandemic, wars and political situations, I think it is the moment to bring back the double luck,” he said.

Setting sail in front of Hong Kong’s landmark Convention and Exhibition Centre, the mighty ducks moved through the harbour before stopping to nest near the city government’s headquarters. Office workers strolled by during lunch breaks to snap selfies, while others carried yellow duck balloons to celebrate the sunny duo’s new perch. “I think it’s very good to have the duck back after 10 years because it is simple happiness, especially after the pandemic,” one admirer named Vivian told AFP. “It’s a form of flashback,” said 32-year-old bank employee Zenj. “I think it brings luck.” During its 2013 visit to Hong Kong, the solo lemon-hued bird ruffled feathers in Beijing after internet users edited the famous “Tank Man” photo from the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown by replacing the tanks with ducks. Internet searches for “yellow duck” were banned in mainland China in the run-up to June 4 that year, the anniversary of the crackdown, as Beijing forbids discussion of the day Chinese troops crushed demonstrations. Even after Hofman’s duck exhibitions slowed in the mid-2010s, the creature has found new life as an inadvertent protest symbol in Brazil, Russia and most recently Thailand.
