Hero.
Directed by Derek Tsang from Hong Kong and starring Yiyang Qianxi, a member of TFBoys, and Golden Horse Awards winner Zhou Dongyu,
Better Days is an adaption of the novel
In His Youth, In Her Beauty by Chinese author Jiu Yuexi, which tells the story of two high school students who attempt to save one another from relentless bullying at school. It’s a deft combination of a crime thriller, school drama, romance, coming-of-age tale, with a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure, resulting in a massive success since its debut in 2019. The Oscar nominee certainly isn t the first time the film has been recognized, as it dominated the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2020, winning eight awards including Best Film, Director, Actress, Cinematography, and Screenplay.
