Days of Being Wild

A Fei zheng chuan (1991) Days of Being Wild

ENG
The movie is set in Hong Kong and the Philippines in 1960–61. Yuddy or ‘York’ in English (Leslie Cheung), is a playboy in Hong Kong and is well known for stealing girls’ hearts and breaking them. His first lover in the film is Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung), who suffers emotional and mental depression as a result of Yuddy’s wayward attitude. Li-zhen eventually seeks much-needed solace from a sympathetic policeman named Tide (Andy Lau). Their near-romance is often hinted at but never materializes.

York’s next romance is with a vivacious cabaret dancer whose stage name is Mimi (Carina Lau). Mimi is also loved by York’s best friend, Zeb (Jacky Cheung). Unsurprisingly, York dumps her too and she begins a period of self-destruction. York initiates romantic relationships but refuses to commit to the relationship and is unwilling to make compromises. He is conflicted about his feelings about his adoptive mother, a former prostitute played by Rebecca Pan, and is obsessed about his biological mother, who he eventually discovers is a Filipino aristocrat.

Questa scoperta distrugge Yuddy, il quale diviene vittima delle emozioni non controllandole. Yuddy nel contempo conosce due donne innamorate di lui, Su Lizhen e Mimi. Una serie di eventi lo porteranno in un mondo prima sconosciuto, sino a quando scoprirà che la madre vive nelle Filippine e la raggiunge di conseguenza.
