To anyone familiar with the Hong Kong New Wave cinema of the 80’s, Patrick Tam needs no introduction. His 1982 classic NOMAD confronted realistic topics of sex and violence with unflinching brutality, sending a seismic shockwave throughout the film industry. He is also widely Regarded as Wong Kar-wai’s teacher, and as the editor of the infamous scene with Tony Leung Chiu-Wai at the end of Wong’s DAYS OF BEING WILD. But after his award-winning 1989 film MY HEART IS THAT ETERNAL ROSE, Tam stopped directing and turned to film editing on select projects (one of them being Wong Kar-wai’s ASHES OF TIME). Nearly 17 years later, to everyone’s great surprise, he announced his latest directorial effort, AFTER THIS OUR EXILE.
