The Last Dance: Extended Version
Two comedy legends unite in Hong Kong’s highest-grossing domestic film of all time. A moving, layered family drama about grieving, generational divides, and breaking taboos. When wedding planner Dominic (Dayo Wong) loses his business, he winds up partnering with curmudgeonly Taoist priest (Michael Hui) to revive a struggling funeral parlor. As he learns the rites of deathcare—from corpse handling to ritual “Hell’s Gate-breaking”—Dominic finds new meaning in serving the dead rather than the living. But tradition clashes with modern times as tailor-made rites challenge old beliefs, culminating in a rift over whether women can lead sacred ceremonies. This director’s cut of Last Dance is a gentle but pointed reflection on life, death, and who gets to decide how we say goodbye.
