Strong performances from Dayo Wong and Michael Hui anchor the story by director Anselm Chan.
The pandemic has devastated Hong Konger Dominic’s wedding planning business. When Taoist priest Master Man seeks someone to handle the business side of his funeral rites company, the cash-strapped executive steps in. Their partnership is fraught with tension, further strained by family dynamics – particularly concerning Master Man’s daughter Yuet , who has been denied succession because she is a woman.
The Last Dance opens as a dark comedy exploring the clash between old Hong Kong – embodied by the gruff Master Man – and the new, represented by Dominic, who hopes to revitalise the traditional business with merchandise, marketing and customer-focused strategies. Through a series of concise but affecting character portraits, Chan introduces various funeral-service clients, each offering Dominic an opportunity to prove his worth while providing fascinating glimpses into Hong Kong’s funeral traditions.
