Ann Hui's The Story Of Woo Viet is one of those dramas opting for strong social commentary on a rough filmmaking surface but those who decides to stick with it will find after the final frame that a powerful, sometimes shocking, tale exists under the low-fi nature of the film.

 Hong Kong New Wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hong Kong New Wave was a blanket term applied to a number of young, groundbreaking Hong Kong filmmakers of the late 1970s and 1980s, many trained in overseas film programs and with experience in the territory's thriving television drama scene.
Among the most notable members are Tsui Hark, Ann Hui, Patrick Tam, Yim Ho and Allen Fong.
The New Wave filmmakers were particularly given to revisionist explorations of popular genres, like the thriller (Hui's 1979 The Secret, Tam's 1981 Love Massacre), martial arts (Tsui's 1979 The Butterfly Murders, Tam's 1980 The Sword) and crime (Alex Cheung's 1979 Cops and Robbers, Yim's 1980 The Happenings).

 Visible Secret
nn Hui, the critical darling who has successfully managed to blend popular and personal filmmaking, returned to the horror genre for the first time since 'The Spooky Gang' (1980) with this offbeat, darkly comic romantic chiller.
Hui's low-key direction is assisted by cinematographer Arthur ('Once Upon A Time In China', 'New Dragon Gate Inn') Wong's chilling blue visual style and the deep reds he uses to suggest the supernatural (again cribbed from 'The Sixth Sense').
But, Hui allows ample time for the supporting players to flesh out their characters, and is rewarded with memorable turns from Wong and Lee as Peter’s father and best friend respectively.

 Eighteen springs : review by Shelly Kraicer
The films of Ann Hui have always stood apart from the mainstream of Hong Kong cinema.
Hui provides a visual frame for only one side of this, though.
Eighteen Springs adopts the structure of melodrama, only to subvert it (a move which is not unexpected, given both melodrama's focus on female characters and lives, and its essentially patriarchal assumptions about those characters); inflecting it with a specific sense of time passing, one which acknowledges loss, but forestalls nostalgia.

 Amazon.ca: July Rhapsody: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
An acclaimed veteran director, Hui has a penchant for elliptical storytelling, which rendered her previous effort, the ghost movie Visible Secret, nearly incomprehensible.
Where Wong's film is aggressively formalist, Hui tempers hers with a more conventional structure that still allows for her personal touches.
A subtle study in the deterioration of relationships and the strains of a broken marriage, director Ann Hui's character driven drama draws on Chinese poetry to tell a tale of infidelity and pensive yearning.
