Comrades: Almost a Love Story 《甜蜜蜜》 (1996)

“My aunt said, people will think you’re a Mainlander if they know you’re a fan of Teresa Teng.”
“姑媽說，給人家知道你喜歡聽鄧麗君，全世界都知道你是大陸人。”

Destiny is calling Lai’s new immigrant from northern China, who forms a ‘friendship’ – with benefits – with Cheung’s Guangzhou comrade out of loneliness and a shared passion for the Mandarin pop legend Teresa Teng. The catch? He has a fiancée back home and she has her materialistic ambitions to fulfil. Definitely a love story and certainly one of our cinema’s very best, Chan’s nine-times Hong Kong Film Awards winner charts the decade-spanning near-romance with acute cultural awareness and a sublime touch of emotional delicacy.
命運讓從中國大陸到香港打拼的李翹（張曼玉飾）遇到了同樣從大陸來到香港討生活的黎小軍（黎明飾）。由于孤獨寂寞，加之兩人都很喜歡鄧麗君，他們漸生情愫。然而，黎小軍在家鄉有個未婚妻，李翹則想追求更加優越的物質生活。這不僅是一部絕佳的愛情故事，更是一部最佳上座影片。本片獲得第16屆香港電影金像獎九項大獎，描繪了跨越近10年的愛情故事，具有濃厚的文化意識和超群的細膩感受。
