Anita

I will clarify that my review is based on the miniseries version of this production, which was a total of 3' 45" ( 5 x 45" episodes) and fleshed out the life of Anita in more depth.

I came across this production by chance and, having lived and worked in HK for much of the peak of Anita Mui's career, and always enjoying her unique voice, I sat down to watch it.

What a treat it is, too. Yes, biopics tend to be a bit inaccurate in some aspects, but it really does a great job of capturing the period in HK. The presentation of HK in the 80s and 90s is excellent and brings back so many memories.

I was in the RHKP for almost a decade, spanning the 80s and 90s and was police OIC at the Coliseum when she did some of her concerts there. Many great memories!

It was a tragedy that she was cut down by cancer at such a young age, but she was star that burned so brightly in HK and around Asia. She recorded many memorable songs that form a great legacy she has left behind. More than that, though, she was a free spirit who didn't bow to convention, which was a rare thing in HK back in those days.

This production captures her and the era so well. Do watch it!
