Just as a septet is a group of seven people playing music together, Septet: The Story of Hong Kong is a sonorous symphony created in concert by seven of Hong Kong’s most revered directors who come together for the first time to compose a symphony of stories for their city. Each director was responsible for making a short film on Hong Kong set within a designated decade from the 50s to the future. These stories include Sammo Hung’s Exercise, Ann Hui’s Headmaster, Patrick Tam’s Tender is the Night, Yuen Wo-ping’s Homecoming, Johnnie To’s Bonanza, Ringo Lam’s Astray, and Tsui Hark’s Conversation in Depth. Astray in particular is Ringo Lam’s swan song. Septet: The Story of Hong Kong is shot entirely on film as a tribute to the medium itself. The producer also hopes to inspire the next generation of filmmakers through this groundbreaking collaboration.
[創作概念]
七位殿堂級導演聯手執導，每位導演由五十年代至未 來，各自抽籤負責一個年代，執導一個與香港有關的故 事。《七人樂隊》片名寓意各有風格才華的導演，猶如 出色的樂手，走在一起便能合奏出令人共鳴的美妙樂 章。七個導演作品包括洪金寶的〈練功〉、許鞍華的〈校 長〉、譚家明的〈別夜〉、袁和平的〈回歸〉、杜琪峯的 〈遍地黃金〉、林嶺東的〈迷路〉，及徐克的〈深度對 話〉。其中林嶺東的〈迷路〉更是導演的最後遺作。
《七人樂隊》全片用菲林拍攝，是一部向菲林拍攝年代 致敬的電影。杜琪峯也希望透過今次七位導演的合作， 將他們那一代香港導演無分門派的合作精神，啟迪並鼓 勵到年青一代電影人。

These three stories were conceived as the first three in a series of seven stories with the theme of “coincidence and imagination”. Coincidence has always been a subject of interest to me. Depicting coincidence is a manner that regards rarity as the essence of the world, rather than being based on reality. By creating a work with this title, I realised how it opens up the story in unexpected ways. Please enjoy being surprised by the unexpectedness of the world
Hamaguchi Ryusuke
Magic (or Something Less Assuring) – When Meiko realises that the man her best friend has talked about as “hitting on her” is her ex-boyfriend, whom she broke up with a year-and-a-half ago, she wonders what she should do. Door Wide Open – A student who failed to graduate plots to trick his professor and has his class friend with benefits visit the professor’s office. Once again – Natsuko meets a housewife with a child who seems to be a classmate she couldn’t find at the college reunion. The two talk to each other and confirm the feelings they have harbored in their hearts.
[導演的話]
在我的構思中，這個系列共有七個故事，主題都是關於 「偶然與想像」，這是系列裏的頭三個故事。我一直對 「偶然」這個題目感興趣。描繪「偶然」，並非建基於 現實，是把稀有事物視為世界之本。以此為片名來進行 創作，我發現它令故事以意想不到的方式展開。請享受 世事出乎意料帶來的驚喜。

Time is a black comedy about three ex-assassins who live a lonely life after withdrawing from their profession. Through absurdist humour, I hope to bring out the social problems of empty nesters who, after their children have left home, must deal with all sorts of problems, including illness. Thanks to producer Lam Ka-tung for inviting me to direct this film, I hope Time can arouse public attention and call for more understanding of empty nesters. I am grateful to have invited two heavyweight actors of the Cantonese Cinema, Patrick Tse and Petrina Fung, to be the protagonists. These veteran actors came to work every day with joyful hearts, and kept their spirits high even when shooting continued past midnight. They offered to perform action sequences themselves, instead of using stuntmen. I am deeply touched and impressed by their professionalism and work ethic. Every film has its own difficulties and shortcomings. As a new director, I am thankful to each and every crew member for their efforts and support, ensuring a smooth flow throughout the whole production process.
Ricky Ko [導演的話]
《殺出個黃昏》是一部黑色喜劇，講述三個曾幾何時是 職業殺手的江湖中人，遠離殺手生涯後的孤獨生活，透 過電影的拍攝手法，以幽默的方式巧妙地帶出現今社會 的空巢老人在缺乏子女關懷及疾病纏身所引起的種種問 題……多謝監製林家棟先生邀請我拍攝這部電影，希望 電影能引起社會各界對空巢老人有更多的關注及了解。
這部電影有幸邀請了兩位在粵語片年代份量超重的演員 謝賢及馮寶寶擔任主角。兩位前輩每天均是懷着愉快的 心情來開工，在拍攝到凌晨時份，他們依然精神奕奕。 而在動作場面上，他們會要求親身上陣，盡量不用替 身，他們的專業精神及操守，令我十分感動且敬佩！幕 後團隊方面，部分人員在過往亦曾與我合作多次，對我 的工作模式十分了解，非常合拍；而新合作的人員，在 創作上亦帶給我很多新的啟發。
每部電影都有其困難和不足，作為新導演的我在此非常 感謝台前幕後每一位工作人員的努力及協助，令整個拍 攝過程非常順利。
