不論有沒有看過崑曲,都不會影響這部紀綠片的欣賞指數。因為「前路如何走下去」才是本片的命題。導演卓翔繼上一部 《乾旦路》(第九屆),繼續聚焦選擇走不凡路的年青人。崑曲在2001年被聯合國教科組織(UNESCO)列為人類非物質文化遺產,雖然再次受到重視,但崑曲以生旦主演的文戲較多,武生的演出機會相對少,因此願意投身的年青人就少之有少。本片主角年青崑曲武生楊陽,被師父柯軍挑選為崑曲武生傳承人,卻使他陷於不知進退的境地。反思自己的藝術與人生路應如何走下去。好比他演出過的《夜奔》,林沖的前程和命運已到了日落西山的地步,是否等於絕望?但相比另一個他演出的角色崇禎皇帝面對的絕境,楊陽發覺林沖的命運還不算最差,更何況是處於現代的自己?

Following his 2012 documentary My Way on Cantonese Opera, Cheuk Cheung continues to explore the role of traditional Chinese opera in modern society in his second feature about Kunqu Opera. While My Way highlighted the struggles of male performers who play female characters, My Next Step focuses on the increasingly marginalized wusheng, male performers who specialize in martial characters. In an uncertain environment where opportunities are few and dwindling, wusheng Yang Yang grows from an unassured youth ready to call it quits to staging his own show. Filled with performance excerpts, the documentary offers an intimate look into the world of Kunqu and the inspiring journey of a young man in a fading art.
