魔鱼欲女

《时代光影》，是张曼玉剪辑的2014年第33届香港电影金像奖开幕主题短片，记录着香港历史上各大事件，最后的历史流去，电影存留，是对那个时代的致敬：

At the age of eight, the now 25-year-old director caused an incident, which has remained traumatic as he became older. Although it seemed just a trivial matter, something one might expect from children, he obstinately questions his family, friends and teachers about what happened at that time. Worrying over the thoughts of dishonor he saw in his family’s eyes then, he has fostered a self-hatred over the years. As if reconstructing the past with his camera, he attempts to free himself of this self-hatred, shedding tears for himself at times and opening his own wounds, then healing them. What he has discovered through filmmaking was his once sealed “self.” The question now is, where to go from here?

剧情主要描写日本占据台湾时期，自小被卖身到别家作养女的秋莲和青年顺兴相恋，但少女自卖身为养女的那一刻，即已丧失了人权和地位，在这种不合人性的封建桎梏下，他们的命运只能走向悲剧结局。

本片是邵氏不多的台湾制作武侠片。潘垒属于毫无兴趣营造动作奇观的那类，影片讲述了一个侠女复仇的故事。
