This is a very different film from what I was expecting, and it will take a few more viewings to decide what is real, fantasy or mystical experience. The lead, Lee Sinje, is a haunting actress. She has said she is no longer interested in making horror movies, but I can't see her being so effective in any other genre. Isabella Leong gives a remarkably well-modulated performance in the second female lead, and she is very beautiful. This is not a truly great film, and is not among Tsui Hark's very best, but I would recommend it enthusiastically to those who have enjoyed Lee Sinje in other films. |
