Nelson Lik-wai Yu

Nelson Yu Lik-wai was born in Hong Kong in 1966. He went to Belgium to study cinema at the Institut National Supérieur des Arts du Spectacle Film School. Back home after graduation, he soon became an important figure in the movie world of Hong Kong and Continental China, both as a cinematographer and a director. His first film as a director, "Neon Goddess" was a documentary while his next two pictures were fiction: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (1998), a somber but tender portrait of immigrants'lives in Hong Kong; "All Tomorrow's Parties" (2003), an even darker counter-utopia.
