Perhaps to the surprise of the international audience, the most awarded director in Hong Kong Film Awards history is not Wong Kar-wai, Johnnie To, or any of the more popular men – it’s Ann Hui. But it’s no surprise to local Hong Kongers or cinephiles. Like Keep Rolling’s title suggests, the legendary new wave icon’s career has endured longer than most of her peers. Directed by her longtime collaborator Man Lim-chung (a legendary production designer of his own), this documentary not only reviews her storied career but also takes a peek into her personal life, finding Hui’s often hilarious character in the midst of all her struggles and successes. Linking her spirit to her hometown’s, the film locates not only her tenacity and resilience, but also that of her city’s people.

外國觀衆或會感到驚訝，金像獎獲獎次數最多的香港導演并非蜚聲國際的王家衛，杜琪峰，或是任何一個男性導演，而是女導演許鞍華。然而，這對於香港本地觀衆來説并不意外。事實上，這位新浪潮標志的導演生涯比她的大部分同行都要長。在她的長期合作夥伴文念中導演的鏡頭下，本片記錄了許鞍華傳奇的導演生涯以及拍攝以外的私人生活，亦展現了她不爲觀衆所知的幽默一面。《好好拍電影》不僅展示了許鞍華導演的韌性與堅忍，同時亦讓觀衆看到她的靈魂與她所愛的城市和當中的人的密不可分。
