Released in 1993, at the twilight of Hong Kong's New Wave cinema, Hark Tsui’s Green Snake stands as a tour de force that revitalises traditional Chinese mythology through the lens of an aesthetic revolution. Tsui masterfully blends traditional culture with modern technology, pioneering a distinctive aesthetic of Eastern magical realism in films exploring the complexities inherent in women’s experiences of love.
