About New Tenant
Alan Tam is a writer who has spent the last decade in a mental hospital. Upon leaving, he rents an apartment in an abandoned building which contains a clock that sends him back to 1984. The only person that can hear Alan during this time is one of the previous tenants, a young girl named Dolphin. A strange romance soon develops between the two, and so when her sister Whale begins dating a suspicious professor, Alan helps Dolphin to find out the shocking truth about her sister's beau.
Directed by Anthony Wong, New Tenant leans on a strong ensemble — Anthony Wong, Dolphin Chan Hoi-Hang, Parkman Wong Pak-Man — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1995.
