Peter Chan, Hong Kong director, writer, and producer.

In 1997, Comrades, Almost a Love Story won him world acclaim and proved to be one of the best Hong Kong films in the past decade. The film reaped 9 awards in the 16th Annual Hong Kong Film Awards and was listed by the Time magazine as one of the annual top ten best movies.

Chan made his first Hollywood film The Love Letter for Steven Spielberg’s Dream Factory in 1998. The latest film Perhaps Love is his first movie targeting the Mainland China market.

Grand dancing and singing scenes, dazzling stage, luxury costumes, group performance, thrilling acrobatic shows, Perhaps Love, the first homemade opera film, has made romance a lyric. It is being called the Chinese Moulin Rouge.

It is all about forgetting. In memories, did the love ever exist? That was what Hong Kong Director Peter Chan has set out to explore. It is a movie-within-a-movie, featuring a love triangle story that parallels between the lives of several actors.

Saturated with dancing and singing, the film was designed to show the core of love, which Chen is adept at.

The film was chosen to conclude the prestigious Venice Film Festival in September and is the Oscar hopeful representing Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
