Synopsis

"A biography of a Hong Kong musical genius."

At the age of 11, KJ won the Best Pianist price and went to Czech to perform with a professional orchestra. Touching on subjects such as the meaning of life, God and the artistic process, the director's 6-year-conversations with KJ reveal how a young man inspires by his music teacher, Nancy Loo and how he conflicts with his peers and parents. KJ is not about the victory of a genius, but how he learns to be a "human being".

Recommendations

Ann Hui- Director - "It's a great musical biography even for people who are not music fans! "

Ruby Yang- Best Director Oscar Winner - "KJ's music is definitely the soul of the film."

Nancy Loo- Pianist - "I've never thought that music brings him not only dreams, but also shadows."

Ka Ming -Film Critics - "KJ is one of the big surprises of HKIFF this year."

Shiu Ka-chun - University Lecturer - "KJ is arrogant and frivolous, but the genius is all like that."

About the Director

Cheung King-wai is the scriptwriter of Ann Hui's Night and Fog, the script won the Best Story Price at HAF. With the financial support from CNEX, Cheung made All's Right with the World and KJ in two years, which both are selected for HKIFF. KJ will have a theatrical release in Broadway Cinematheque in the mid-July. For the Hong Kong movie industry where documentary is scarce, Cheung is a miracle.
