 This is one of my all time favourite flix. Basically, a young "cabbie" gets his rented "cab" stolen, and resorts, almost indifferently, to a life of crime to be able to pay for it.
His sister, and the amazing Tony Leung Chi-Wai as his pimp/lover, are important characters too.
It's very colorful, psychedelic, even, in some parts at least.
It's a powerful movie, and though it has a couple of sad things in it, it's not a sad film per se.
I cannot put it into words, this a beautiful film and deserves a place in any Asian-cinema lover's collection. |
