The filmmaker famously collaborated with his real-life partner Mabel Cheung on the 'Migration Trilogy,' and many other classics of Hong Kong cinema.
Born Alex Law Kai-yui in 1952, in what was then British Hong Kong, Law studied at the University of Hong Kong, graduating in 1976 with a degree in Chinese and English studies and comparative literature. He went on to study a master’s in film at New York University where he met Cheung. The pair would begin their long and fruitful personal and professional relationship at NYU, taking it in turns to write and direct the features they produced together.
Returning to the nostalgia of their Hong Kong student days, an unfailingly popular theme with the local audience, Law and Cheung releasedin 1998. Released in the wake of 1997 handover, the film struck a chord with Hongkongers looking to an uncertain future. The film would later pave the way for the pair’s, a nostalgia-driven drama set in the 1960s about a working-class family, that Law based largely on his own experience. The film won the Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.
