My Precious(HKAFF2023)

A great love story transcends language and borders. Such is the case for Taiwanese director Giddens Ko’s semi-autobiographical blockbuster You Are the Apple of My Eye, a poignant and nostalgic tale of first love. Television network GMMTV’s first original film production, the Thai remake follows a high school slacker’s unforgettable relationship with the “class goddess” whom all his friends yearn for. A remake that captures the original film’s romantic essence without losing unique cultural flavor, the word-of-mouth hit also serves as an exciting showcase for its talented up-and-coming stars.
