Abosolute dark humour Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It is only in attempting to fulfill my goal of seeing everything with mainland China's best actress, Zhou Xun, in it that I gave this one a spin. Fruit Chan is not my kind of director and Zhou was not featured enough in the film to win me over with just her. The cinematography isn't stunning nor is the story spellbinding. It isn't even just pretty to look at. Lots of dirt and sweat. The characters are well portrayed but didn't engage me. Chan's film's need to be approached critically and since I didn't feel like hitch-hiking on metaphors this film came up flat. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Dark Humor. Like gangs chopping off a guy's arm. But they soon realised they chopped the wrong guy's arm off. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen this movie two times and a half. This is because the first time I saw it I was only able to watch half of it; but this half intrigued me. This is a very interesting movie, as director Fruit Chan actually plays with our senses. It is amazing how he turns a morbid weird plot, into a magic captivating imaginery. Also it is amazing how how as the story evolves, one as a viewer starts feeling a contradiction, between what is actually happening and what is seen on screen (which although it may sound weird, is different one from the other). Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly unique and colourful, as the movie reflects the changing scenery of HK in terms of its obsolete ghettos and the mainland Chinese immigrants. Bizarre scenes with hand reattachment along with many others that cause a good laughter. May not be everyone but definitely for anyone who is still attached to the Hong Kong culture. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
