HONG KONG -- New Wave auteur Patrick Tam's comeback film After This Our Exile was the winner of the night at the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards, scooping five trophies, including best film, director and screenplay.

However, the film's lead actor, Aaron Kwok, lost to local favorite Lau Ching-Wan.

In his acceptance speech for best director, Tam thanked the film's investors for the creative freedom they had given him, a lack of which had led him to stop directing after 1989's My Heart Is That Eternal Rose. He also thanked Law Kar, one of the first generation of Hong Kong film scholars, betraying his own roots as a critic.

Exile's young star Gouw Ian Iskandar won supporting actor and new performer. He received supporting actor honors in November at the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan.

The other hot title of the night was Zhang Yimou's $45 million period epic Curse of the Golden Flower. Gong Li, who made her career in Zhang's earliest films and who was working with the director for the eighth time, took best actress.

The film also won art direction and original film song, which was sung by Taiwanese pop sensation Jay Chou. »
