Crossing Hennessy (traditional Chinese: 月滿軒尼詩; simplified Chinese: 月满轩尼诗; pinyin: yuè mǎn xuānníshī) is a 2010 Hong Kong film directed by Ivy Ho. It was filmed from March to May 2009, and stars Jacky Cheung and Tang Wei.[1] It is a remake of Crossing Delancey (1988).
It is a return to film both for Cheung, who has not appeared in a film for several years, and for Tang, who was banned from acting in mainland China after appearing in Ang Lee's 2007 Lust, Caution. It is the second film directed by Ho (who began her career as a screenwriter). Other actors in the film include Paw Hee-Ching, Danny Lee, Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, and Andy On.
The story mainly takes place around Hennessy Road, in Hong Kong Island's Causeway Bay and Wan Chai districts.
In May 2009 it was announced that the film would be shown at the Cannes Film Festival.[2] It will also be shown at the 2010 Hong Kong International Film Festival alongside Clara Law's "Like a Dream" as a kick start for the opening event.[3]
