TOKYO: It's a story that quickly brings to mind David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: An elderly man abruptly begins shedding a layer of skin each day, every time getting to be 10 years more youthful and recovering his childhood.
However, Shed Skin Papa's executive Roy Szeto told Channel NewsAsia that groups of onlookers will understand it's altogether unique once they watch the motion picture.
"Possibly at first glance it might appear all things considered," said Szeto in Mandarin. "Be that as it may, this motion picture wasn't affected by Benjamin Button by any stretch of the imagination."
Shed Skin Papa is adjusted from a unique Japanese play by honor winning playright Norihiko Tsukuda. Titled Nukegara (Cast-Off Skin), it was initially arranged in 2005. The Hong Kong Repertory Theater then arranged a Cantonese rendition titled Shed Skin in 2011 coordinated by Szeto himself. It cleared seven Hong Kong Drama Awards, including best executive for Szeto, the next year.
The film rendition of this moving dream drama about urban life sees Hong Kong star Louis Koo play cleaned up bankrupt motion picture chief Tian Lik Hang. The character needs to deal with his octogenarian, dementia-ridden father Yat Hung, played by Francis Ng, after his mom passes away. As Yat Hung sheds his skin and recaptures his childhood, Li Hang begins to bond with a father he has overlooked.
Shed Skin Papa is screening in rivalry at the continuous 29th Tokyo International Film Festival and is in the running for the celebration's top respect - the Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix. It was likewise as of late reported that Hong Kong-based Golden Network Asia has grabbed global rights to the film.
Koo said he was exceptionally glad that the film has been designated to go after best film and that from the begin, he chose to bolster this creation due to its script.
"We changed a tad bit of the stage play's script. When we were shooting, we could put a couple of things that were not the same as play into the motion picture," he partook in Mandarin. "I truly loved that!"
The 46-year-old motion picture star, who is reliably named one of the top-procuring on-screen characters in Hong Kong, is a standard associate of 54-year-old co-star Ng. They most as of late showed up in2016 activity flick Line Walker, adjusted from the 2014 Hong Kong TVB arrangement of a similar time.
"When I was advised I was going to go about as his child, I was at first amazed!" he said with a snicker. "How could that be?"
Veteran performing artist Ng who is outstanding for his massively well known TV arrangement Triumph in the Skies and movies, for example, Young and Dangerous and Once Upon A Time in Triad Society, talked about the difficulties he confronted in convincingly depicting father Yat Hun who all through the film, traverses a huge number of ages.
"At the point when the executive requesting that I play the character, I obviously said yes! He tricked me with such an extraordinary part," Ng told Channel NewsAsia. "Be that as it may, I let him know I couldn't follow up on my own. I can't go up against such a gigantic duty! Why not locate some more established performing artist to play the later years, and I'll act the center years. In any case, he said, 'Probably not! Can't! I need stand out individual to act. At that point it's valid, legitimate and looks great.'
"On account of those words, I needed to languish over just about six months," Ng jested.
Regardless of the misery, was Ng no less than somewhat cheerful when he saw a much more youthful form of himself on screen as the character got more youthful and more youthful?
"Obviously. Possibly it's motivation to go for plastic surgery?" he kidded.
Shed Skin Papa's abnormal preface and strong stage-play family look set to give it a decent shot amid the celebration grants, which will see 16 movies seek a huge number of prizes including the Tokyo Sakura Grand Prix, Special Jury Prize and Best Director, Actor and Actress grants.
