Call it what you will – Hollywood hubris, avant-garde self-reflexivity, or even meme culture – but cinema just loves talking about itself. Movie theaters shower their carpets with images of film reels and popcorn. Film festivals bless each premiere with the buzz of anticipation. Auteurs – from Francois Truffaut to Charlie Kaufman, Guru Dutt to Sion Sono – have shown, time and time again, that filmmakers are just like writers. They shine at what they know best.
In homage to the seventh art, we’ve listed some of our favorite films about films below, in random order. We hope you enjoy watching these love letters to industry just as much as we have. It’s like what a good friend of mine once said: Life isn’t like the movies; movies resemble life.

If “Swordmaster” has the feel of an old Shaw Brothers movie then that is not surprising given it’s a remake of “Death Duel” from that studio and directed by the original movie star Derek Yee.
Yen Shisan (Peter Ho) seeks out the Third Master Hsieh Shau-Feng only to arrive too late and find he passed away some days prior. After being diagnosed with an incurable illness, he decides to devote his remaining days redeeming himself for an evil past. At a brothel, a drunken Ah-chi (Lin Gengxin) becomes a servant after having no money to pay for his consumption. Hsiao Li (Jiang Mengjie), a prostitute there, is saved by Ah-chi and a mutual attraction occurs but Ah-chi leaves when he is about to be promoted to bouncer. These two story arcs will eventually collide as pasts are revealed and the truth will lead to conflict.
