Time is a 2021 Hong Kong black comedy film directed by Ricky Ko and co-written by Gordon Lam and Pinky Ho. Starring Patrick Tse, Petrina Fung, Lam Suet, and Chung Suet Ying, the film follows a retired killer (Tse) who returns to business by providing euthanasia to the suffering elderly, and finds a new life purpose through an encounter with an orphaned young client (Chung).

Production

Writer Pinky Ho conceived of a screenplay about the challenges faced by the elderly in their retirement life in 2014, based on personal experiences between her and her parents. Ho pitched the screenplay to several production companies, but it was rejected due to the lack of interest in an elderly-themed film. In the same year, Ho became acquainted with actor Gordon Lam and showed him the screenplay, who expressed interest in it.

The duo spent four years penning the screenplay, making over thirty drafts, with Ho finalizing a version that Lam found satisfactory while he was filming in mainland China. Lam invited Ricky Ko to helm the project as director while filming on the set of The White Storm 2: Drug Lords (2019), where Ko was intending to pitch an original screenplay to Lam.

Principal photography began on 27 September 2019 in Yau Ma Tei, with scenes shot at Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market and Yim Yeung Tin Night Club. Location shooting also took place in Sai Wan on 4 October, with Patrick Tse, Petrina Fung, Lam Suet, Ricky Ko, and Gordon Lam spotted on set, which included filming the ending scene in Sai Ying Pun, as well as in Catchick Street. Chau's residence in his post-retirement life was shot at Sha Tau Kok.

Editing commenced prior to Christmas 2019, and continued through mid-January 2020. Post-production was initially planned to take place in Malaysia in March, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then rescheduled to after producer and writer Gordon Lam had finished filming for Hand Rolled Cigarette (2020), and spanned across November.

The film's theme song "Embrace Youth" is composed by Tomy Wai with lyrics written by Gordon Lam, and performed by Li Lai Ha, who was also a lounge singer prior to entering showbiz. Deanie Ip's "Weary" was also featured, covered by Petrina Fung.
