All About Love (得閒炒飯De xian chao fan) is a 2010 Hong Kong film directed and produced byAnn Hui. Based on a true story, the plot concerns twobisexual women who had been lovers in the past and meet again years later in a counseling session for expectant mothers.[1] Hui said in an interview that initially "There were no investors" for the film because the subject of same-sex relationships was banned in China, and the Hong Kong film industry relied on the Chinese market.[1]
Ms. Hui, a graduate of theLondon Film School,[2] described the film as "serious...but it is also very commercial," adding that "Sometimes it is better to make serious issues more acceptable to audiences, by making it a comedy and having big stars so that people will come watch the movie."[3]
All About Love had its world premiere at the Hong Kong Summer International Film Festival on 11 August 2010;[4][5] followed by theatrical release on 26 August 2010.[6]
Its international premiere was held at the2010 Toronto International Film Festival on 13 September 2010.[7][8][9] It was screened by the Denver Film Society at the 2011 Cinema Q Film Festival,[10] and by theSan Francisco Film Society in the inauguration of its "Hong Kong Cinema Series" festival in 2011.[11]
