Dir. Patrick Lung Kong. 1967, 119 mins. Digibeta. With Patrick Tse, Patrick Lung Kong. Patrick Lung Kong\u2019s breakthrough action-melodrama is the first Hong Kong film shot on-location in the slums, profoundly reinvigorating the genre, and reimagined decades later by its admirers John Woo and Tsui Hark as A Better Tomorrow (1986). Patrick Tse (in a star-making performance) plays Lee Cheuk\u2014a prisoner released after fifteen years of incarceration to find his family estranged and his ex-fianc\u00e9e the mistress of powerful triad boss, One-Eyed Jack (Sheh Kien from Enter the Dragon). In the rapidly-modernizing streets of Hong Kong, Cheuk tries to stay straight as he faces harassment from the violent triads and the hardened police. A vital film in the revival of post-war Cantonese-language cinema, The Story of a Discharged Prisoner has been celebrated by Time Out Hong Kong as one of the 100 greatest Hong Kong films of all-time. “[Both] a damning critique [and] a call for hope… [It] is filmmaking at its sharpest and most masterful” (South China Morning Post).<\/p>\n
