A retrospective of the late Hong Kong actor Leslie Cheung will be held to commemorate the 6th anniversary of his death. Leslie committed suicide on April 1, 2003, leaving his fans in shock around the world.

The film company Morein said Thursday that it will hold the Leslie Cheung Memorial Film Festival at the Hollywood Classic and Dream Cinema theaters from March 27 until April 23.

Among the films to be screened at the festival, “Happy Together” is a 1997 film directed by Wong Kar-Wai and starring Leslie Chung and Tony Leung. The film is remembered for its breathtaking cinematography and heart-rending tango music. A gay-themed film, it was not shown in Korea until 1998, a year after its original release, because the then Korea Performance Ethics Board (now Korea Media Rating Board) banned its import. The uncut version will be shown for the festival.

“Days of Being Wild (1990)” depicts the hopeless lives of young people with dreamlike cinematography. It failed to gain popularity at the time it was released, but later received recognition for its artistic quality. It stars some of the top stars in Hong Kong such as Andy Lau, Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung as well as Leslie Cheung.

“The Phantom Lover (1995)” is a romantic musical film where Jacqueline Wu starred opposite Cheung. The 1992 film “All’s Well, Ends Well” is a family comedy featuring Stephen Chow as Cheung's brother.

Other films include “The Bride with White Hair (1993),” where Cheung played a young man falling in love with a witch, and John Woo’s “A Better Tomorrow (1986)” and “A Better Tomorrow 2 (1987),” which are considered the pioneers of the Hong Kong noir genre.

Meanwhile, Morein plans to organize retrospectives of Bruce Lee, Andy Lau and other Hong Kong stars under the theme of “Never-Ending Story Hong Kong.”
