Ping Pong
A young lawyer has to execute the will of a Chinese man found dead in a phone box in a witty comic thriller - the first British-Chinese feature film.
Director: Leong Po-Chih
Overview
This delightful culture-clash comedy thriller about family ties and cultural identity in London's Chinatown was the first truly Chinese-British feature film. Lawyer Elaine Choi has to execute the will of Sam Wong, a Chinese businessman who has died in mysterious circumstances. Each member of Wong's family has much to gain, but the will sets out a number of conditions they must meet first...
This stylish, inventive and witty film marked a return home for British-born but Hong Kong-based filmmaker Po Chih Leong.
