Last year, Coventry University East Asian Film Society (Cueafs) founder Spencer Murphy had the pleasure of interviewing acclaimed Hong Kong auteur Pang Ho-cheung, alongside producer Subi Liang and scriptwriter Jody Luk. All three were in attendance at the 14th Udine Far East Film Festival to support the screening of their films Love in a Puff (2010), Love in the Buff (2012) and the Category III shock comedy Vulgaria (2012), which is released in the UK this week on DVD and Blu-ray, courtesy of Third Window Films.
