My Prince Edward
Support the IFS by screening titles straight from independent distributors who routinely provide us with interesting movies. By clicking "watch now" below you'll be able to watch a theatrical release and the distributor will then split the proceeds 50/50 with the IFS, which in turn helps buy us time while we wait for the green light to return to Muenzinger Auditorium.
Serving countless newlyweds in Hong Kong’s go-to one-stop-shop of cheap wedding
supplies doesn’t exempt Fong from social pressure to marry. Since nodding to Edward’s
proposal, she has been pushed beyond limits by unaffordable housing, archaic customs, and intrusive in-laws. What befuddles her further is the reappearance of Shuwei,
a mainlander she’s supposed to be divorced from out of a sham marriage that solved
her coming-of-age hardship. Zeroing in on nuts and bolts of modern marriage,
My Prince Edward pokes around fixated correlations of freedom with relationship status and
geographic residence. Like a breath of fresh air out of the breathless space it navigates,
the delightful gem contributes a rare humane take on the worldly metropolis's divisions
with humor and wisdom. As Fong redefines her best life and writer-director Norris Wong
reclaims her home city's narrative from outsiders, the profound thrills sparked by their
courage will make you wholeheartedly cheer for a woman’s independence and Hong
Kong cinema’s rejuvenation My Prince Edward
