Courtroom drama is Hong Kong’s highest grossing Chinese-language film ever
Analysts suggest popularity of A Guilty Conscience is down to portrayal of recent abuses in judicial system
Hong Kong’s highest grossing Chinese language film of all time is a courtroom drama exploring themes of power and justice in a city where many feel both have been abused in recent years.
A Guilty Conscience, the directorial debut of the Hong Kong screenwriter Ng Wai-lun, tells the story set in the city of a single mother wrongly accused of murdering her daughter and the legal battle to clear her name.
