About Darling Life

THIS DARLING LIFEis a journey in search of dogs’ best friends that evolves into a discovery of the essences of life. Stripped of all pretences, the film is a naked piece of testimonial to love.

It is an alternative non-mainstream Hong Kong film that connects and excites people. A documentary that does not follow rules, it has a narrative, it is a poem. A dog movie it seems, yet it is really about people. Most interestingly, people are talking about it, creating a ripple effect, especially after the Hong Kong Asian Film Screening in 2008.

The documentary opens up with the director’s feelings towards the slow torturous sickness and eventual death of her dog Baby, her companion of sixteen years. It meanders into a quest about life, death and love, unraveling her discovery of the jewels she finds along her path.

You might pour your heart out, (it has made men cry) but it’s not sad. It’s like the spring dew, cleansing and rejuvenating. Difficult and reflective, but it’s also hilarious at times. It’s a DARLING LIFE.

開啟《愛與狗同行》的美麗旅程,跟隨導演的腳步,去探訪狗和它們最好的朋友——人。在這些人與狗的故事背後,透露出創作者對生活本質的再思考。剝去所有外部虛飾,電影原來也可以愛得如此純粹。

影片不同於一般的主流港產電影,卻依然讓人興奮感動。雖為紀錄片,卻有著劇情片所特有的情節脈絡和極微妙的詩意表達,賦予了紀錄片別樣的光彩。表面是講狗,實際談的卻是人。於2008年在香港國際影視展(FILMART)贊助的HAS放映環節中首度亮相,反映熱烈,獲得觀眾一致好評,破格之作,當之無愧。

故事始於一條小狗。陪伴了導演16年的小狗Baby被疾病折磨,慢慢走向死亡……這個與摯愛分離的痛苦過程,激發導演重新思考生命、死亡和愛。亦以狗為嚮導,開啟《愛與狗同行》的旅程,和觀眾一起分享她對生命的新發現。
