C'est La Vie Mon Cheri (1993)

Summary: A delightful little gem.....
Director Derek Yee Tung-sing scored a surprise box office smash with this tear jerker which features a great performances and genuine heart, two elements that catapult this film from the candy coated Hollywood romantic comedy. Actor Lau Ching-wan stars as a down-on-his-luck jazz musician who begins to find the meaning of life when he meets the poor, but happy Wing, enthusiastically portrayed by Anita Yuen Wing-yee (who bagged the best actress award at the 1993 Hong Kong Film Awards). Of course, cliche runs rampant, and the story becomes downbeat. This however, does not detract the audience from enjoying this warm hearted production. A highly recommended date film.
