粵劇的「舊」，為「新浪潮」提供了上佳的戲劇背景。許鞍華的第二部作品以戲班後台作為舞台，泡製出一個寓風格於現實的故事。長洲可說是一個大型的後台，其古樸的離島風貌，配合了粵劇肖象性的化妝、絢麗的服飾及富於感觀性的舞台表演，營造出一股詭秘妖異的氣氛。兩代恩怨竟牽涉商業騙局及軍政大事，陰與陽、人與鬼、新與舊、老與少、真與假，錯綜複雜。蕭芳芳的演出收放自如，演活了「十三點」的鬼馬二幫花旦。導演許鞍華充滿獵奇意味的筆觸，更為粵劇描繪出一種特殊的魅力。
The summer before college, bright-yet-irreverent Elliott comes face-to-face with her older self during a mushroom trip. The encounter spurs a funny and heartfelt journey of self-discovery and first love as Elliott prepares to leave her childhood home. Writer-director Megan Park’s tender, surprising sophomore feature cleverly uses its high-concept premise of a visit from one’s future self to launch a refreshing, nuanced exploration of the uncertainties of young romance and coming of age. My Old Ass is a sweet teenage love story, a lively contemporary comedy, and a quirky riff on time-travel films all in one. Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza have a terrific unlikely chemistry, as the sass and self-assuredness of the young Elliott, as played by Stella, blends and overlaps with Plaza’s sardonic humor as a more mature Elliott. The care and affection shown in the film’s depiction of Elliott’s rural hometown in her last days before taking off for adulthood visually highlights her emotional journey, evoking a nostalgia for days that haven’t even ended yet.—HZ
