Dir: Ann Hui / 2011 / China / 118 mins / Cert: CLUB Starring: Andy Lau, Deanie Ip, Qin Hailu / Language: Mandarin Ann Hui’s Hong Kong movie A Simple Life is a tear-jerker, but thoughtful and intelligent, with an anti-sentimental dimension. Andy Lau plays Roger, a film producer who is one of only two remaining occupants of the apartment where he was brought up. The other is the ageing household maid-cum-nanny, Ah Tao (Deannie Ip), who has been with the family since she was a teenager. When Ah Tao has a stroke and asks to be put into a care home, Roger unhesitatingly takes on the administrative and financial burden himself. A sad and sombre film that uses a plangent piano soundtrack to tug at the heartstrings, but tempers this with a downbeat reality. Based on a true story, A Simple Life delicately traces a decades-long bond with pathos and humour. €3 Coffee & Cake Deal
