In the talk, Professor Chua will explore the director's classic focus of interest in his films on family drama, generational and cultural distance and father-son, father-daughter tensions; and his choice of an education in filming.
Mr Lee's last visiting the University was to film the story of Lust Caution, which expanded a short story by former HKU student Eileen Chang. His latest film Taking Woodstock will soon be released in the territory.
