Director: Evan Yang
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 5pm, $30, Tel: 2734 9009

The Films of Evan Yang :
Dreams Come True
Director: Evan Yang
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 2:30pm, $30, Tel: 2734 9009

Evan Yang's talent in celebrating small things in life is amply displayed in Our Dream Car. A pair of newlyweds are seduced into buying a car, at once an expensive toy and a symbol of a status they had not quite reached. Much comedy is generated by the young couple's obsession with the new acquisition and their struggles to make payment, but the film is also marked by moments of married life at once authentic and endearing.

Director: Evan Yang
HK Film Archive, Cinema, 5pm, $30, Tel: 2734 9009
How much does a fur coat mean to a woman? Enough to threaten her loving, steady marriage? Evan Yang, ever aware of the city beat and the pace folks walk to it, fashions this script from the whims of the rapidly rising 1950s middle class.
