Before I move on to a new film I still have another couple of "pandemic" finds from Le Monocle rit Jaune, courtesy of a revisit I did during those frustrating (and seemingly pointless) days of semi-captivity.
This one will be of particular interest to anyone who lives in Sai Kung because it shows the town-end of Hiram's Highway before the reclamation that the China Paint factories (and a few other developments) now sit on. In the film, I seem to remember the following scene - as Le Monocle (Paul Meurisse) catches a ride on the back of a tandem bike - was supposed to be in Macau.
Anyway, marvel at the open area in the background. If you are curious as to what the same place looks like now just click this link to GoogleEarth. The village in the low area in the first few frames is Fui Yiu Ha.
