'Hold You Tight' is a 1998 Hong Kong romantic drama film directed by Stanley Kwan. The film features full-frontal male nudity.[http://www.scmp.com/article/233144/kwans-patchy-epic-loses-its-grip Kwan's patchy epic loses its grip]. Paul Fonoroff. Publisher: 'South China Morning Post' (in English). Published: 13 March 1998. Retrieved: 18 April 2014.
It is Stanley Kwan's seventh feature film, and he says that his previous two documentaries 'A Personal Memoir of Hong Kong' and 'Yang Yin: Gender in Chinese Cinema' had strong influences on making this film: "Both of them evolved from my thoughts on family background and upbringing, my career as a filmmaker, my sexual orientation and my identity as a Chinese man living in a British colony. The film was written for Hong Kong actress Chingmy Yau who plays two roles, a young executive and a worldly boutique owner."
