“Band Four” is something unusual for a Hong Kong film, according to its director, a pop/rock musical. Bringing together a remarkable four generations of Hong Kong musicians, including the iconic HK superstar Teddy Robin. The premise is of a family band – including their nine-year-old drummer prodigy – trying to get it together in the midst of some difficult challenges. The highlight is a jam session between the 80-year-old electric guitarist Teddy and the youthful drummer.
In the Podtalk, director Mo Lai Yan Chi talks about her remarkable journey and the generations.
