Ooooh do you have favorites for female-led TW/HK movies?

Shu Qi, Zhao Wei AND Karen Mok!!
IKR!!! What an era to be alive and watching movies.

I thought that maybe I just have nostalgia bias but they really don't make movies like those anymore! Corey Yuan passed away a couple years ago, and even among active filmmakers who make movies about men, some of the big Hong Kong ones have pivoted to the Chinese market ... And the recent films haven't been able to produce the same crop of actors, I guess because the cultural environment has changed. I did remember liking Soul Mate but it came out way back in 2016. At this point I feel like I'm just gonna have to go through the Zhao Wei / Faye Wong / etc catalogue.
