A screwball comedy from 1992, Now You See Love, Now You Don't offers light-hearted insight into city life versus small town living. Chow Yun-fat plays the leader of a small village in the New Territories, whose fiancée Firefly Kwok (Carol Cheng) returns from studying in England as a punk— the source of many quarrels. Their star power is complemented by stellar appearances from Teresa Mo, Anthony Wong, Carina Lau, and other supporting actors. Directed by Alex Law, the screenwriter of the romantic blockbuster An Autumn’s Tale (1987), the film is a down-to-earth and entertaining story about love and culture clashes.

Alex Law (1953–2022, Hong Kong) was a film director and screenwriter. After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, he joined Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) as a director and scriptwriter. In 1982, he moved to the United States to pursue a master's degree in film at New York University, where he became acquainted with Mabel Cheung, who would later become his partner in life and work. Alongside Now You See Love, Now You Don't, his major works include An Autumn’s Tale (1987) and Echoes of the Rainbow (2010), both Best Screenplay winners at the Hong Kong Film Awards, as well as Painted Faces (1988). The latter also won the Crystal Bear for Best Film in the ‘Generation KPlus category at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival.
