繁體中文

李光耀(David Lee Kwong-yiu),1973年喺香港出世,中學就讀鄧鏡波書院,之後遠赴美國升學,先喺Northfield Mount Hermon讀高中,再喺美國康乃爾大學同香港城市大學創意媒體學院取得學士學位;佢係少數受過海外電影教育嘅香港導演,對電影語言同製作制度都有國際視野。佢入行頭十幾年主要做副導演,先後跟隨徐克同劉偉強兩大導演,喺《頭文字D》《遊龍戲鳳》《槍王之王》《傷城》等大片負責副導工作,喺大型製作現場累積咗豐富經驗,亦見識過中港合拍片嘅運作模式,明白點樣喺商業框架入面講故事。2008年,佢執導首部長片《惡男事件》,以連環兇殺同懸疑為題,正式坐上導演位。2015年,佢自編自導《暴瘋語》,由爾冬陞監製、劉青雲同黃曉明主演,故事圍繞精神病康復者重返社會時所面對嘅標籤同歧視,劉青雲演嘅康復者同黃曉明演嘅醫生互相博弈,戲中不斷反問「邊個先係病人」;佢憑呢部戲喺第34屆香港電影金像獎奪得新晉導演獎,呢個亦係佢至今最受注目嘅獎項。《暴瘋語》2014年開拍、2015年初上映,係佢第二部長片,亦令佢正式接上主流製作嘅脈絡;佢嘅副導經歷,令佢熟悉大型合拍片嘅流程,獨立執導時較易掌握製作規模。近年佢多為廉政公署拍攝《廉政行動》系列單元劇,包括2019同2022年嘅季度,鏡頭繼續關注貪污同社會公義嘅題材,同時佢亦繼續構思劇情長片。佢嘅作品多數貼近社會現實,着重人物心理刻畫,敘事平實,好少靠大場面或花巧特技去吸引觀眾。

English

David Lee Kwong-yiu was born in Hong Kong in 1973. He attended Tang King Po School, then Northfield Mount Hermon in the United States, and took bachelor's degrees at Cornell University and at the School of Creative Media of City University of Hong Kong; he is one of the few Hong Kong directors with a film education abroad and an international view of film language and production systems. For more than a decade he worked as an assistant director in the teams of Tsui Hark and Andrew Lau, on big productions such as 'Initial D', 'Look for a Star', 'Triple Tap' and 'Confession of Pain', gaining wide experience on large sets and of how Hong Kong-mainland co-productions operate, and learning how to tell a story within a commercial framework. He made his directing debut in 2008 with 'The Vampire Who Admires Me', a serial-killer thriller. In 2015 he wrote and directed 'Insanity', produced by Derek Yee and starring Sean Lau and Huang Xiaoming, a drama about the stigma and discrimination faced by mental-health patients returning to society, in which Lau's recovering patient and Huang's doctor play off each other and the film keeps asking who the real patient is; it won him Best New Director at the 34th Hong Kong Film Awards, still his most prominent honour. In recent years he has directed episodes of the ICAC drama series, including seasons in 2019 and 2022, with an ongoing focus on corruption and social justice, while developing further features. His films stay close to social reality and concentrate on psychological portraiture, told plainly rather than through big set pieces or showy effects.

影響與傳承 Impact & Legacy

繁體中文

李光耀屬於香港戰後新一代導演,佢由副導演一步一步走上導演位,作品唔靠大場面,而係集中處理精神病、罪案等社會題材。《暴瘋語》為佢帶嚟金像獎新晉導演嘅肯定,亦令佢成為少數以社會寫實切入類型片嘅香港導演;佢長期拍攝廉政公署劇集,延續咗本地紀實劇嘅傳統。

English

David Lee belongs to a younger post-war generation of Hong Kong directors who climbed from assistant director to the director's chair. His films avoid spectacle and focus on social subjects such as mental illness and crime. 'Insanity' earned him Best New Director and made him one of the few Hong Kong filmmakers to bring social realism into genre cinema, while his long run directing ICAC drama episodes continues a local tradition of issue-based docudrama.
