A very well done and (seemingly) real movie, but pretty depressing. I didn't really read the description before buying it, but I thought it was just a love story between Tony Leung and a Vietnamese girl. I can see why it won some international film fest awards, but then, most of the movies that win those awards are a little strange and mostly sad.
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.
Cyclo is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Thrilling and moving, it stays in your soul for ever once you see it. Watch it.
