18. City On Fire and Reservoir Dogs - Far East Film Festival
When director Ringo Lam suddenly passed away last December, aged 63, filmmakers and cinephiles mourned the loss of one of Hong Kong cinema's great masters.
When director Ringo Lam suddenly passed away last December, aged 63, filmmakers and cinephiles mourned the loss of one of Hong Kong cinema’s great masters. A key maker of thrillers in the 1980s and ‘90s, and with his most recent finished work, Sky on Fire, having hit screens in 2016, Lam had been renowned for his uncompromising take on crime and prison tales as well as his exacting standards on the set. Major works by Lam had become canonical by the early 1990s, when a new wave of interest in Hong Kong cinema exploded internationally, and his obituaries named the highlights, not least among them City on Fire (1987). And with mention of that landmark film came comment on one particular aspect of Lam’s influence: the famed link between City on Fire and Quentin Tarantino’s 1992 debut feature Reservoir Dogs. Lam arrived at City on Fire after taking a big step up in his filmmaking career. Having started out as an actor and then assistant director in TV, Lam became a director for the small screen in 1976. Two years later, he moved to Toronto to study film in York University before returning in 1982. Lam soon became a key talent at Cinema City, a film company churning out hits across genres and supporting rising talents. He made his directorial debut with the ghost romance Esprit d’Amour (1983) and later hit big with the action comedy Aces Go Places IV (1986). But Cinema City co-founder Karl Maka suspected such lighter fare wasn’t really Lam’s thing, and gave the director a fr...
