Plot
A crime and a love affair in Hong Kong.
Sinekatalog’s take
Stanley Kwan's early thriller-romance follows a Hong Kong crime and a love affair clouded by it. Moody and stylish, it is a restless, atmospheric film that shows the director's feel for urban desire.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
