Crime classic forever

Veteran Hong Kong director John Woo's A Better Tomorrow is still making waves more than three decades after it was made. Wang Kaihao reports from the Pingyao International Film Festival.

Since arriving in Pingyao, a small county in central Shanxi province, we, reporters at the first Pingyao International Film Festival, have been asked one thing many times by local residents: Can you get me a ticket for A Better Tomorrow?

"That's the only film I want to see at the festival," a taxi driver, a man in his 40s, says. "I have not seen it on the big screen."
