      Audience Member Se vi piace avere una spiegazione logica di quel che succede nei film che guardate, state alla larga da questo! In soli 73 minuti Julian Lee riesce ad introdurre talmente tante tematiche e misteri che probabilmente sarebbe necessario un film di durata doppia per riuscire a spiegare tutto... D'altro canto Night Corridor è un film molto interessante, un piccolo viaggio nell'incubo e nei lati più oscuri della psiche, che strizza l'occhio a Lynch, Polanski ed Argento, ma mantiene comunque una forte connotazione orientale. A gusto mio è una bella sorpresa e lo riguarderò con piacere in futuro per provare a capirci qualcosa di più. Se volete qualcosa di diverso, ve lo consiglio! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member With his fairly impressive debut The Accident from 1999, novelist Julian lee seemed to settle himself in comfortable indie territory, somewhere between the existential angst of Wong Kar Wai and the parochialism of Mabel Cheung. The Accident furthermore gave evidence of Lee's sure hand at writing, adapting his own complex, multiple storyline novel into a perfectly filmable screenplay. Sadly, his sophomore work Night Corridor, also based on one of his own novels, contradicts wildly with first impressions, as Lee tries his hand at metaphysical horror. Applying layer upon layer of symbolism, Lee completely loses the viewer among the many, and rather superficial, references to art history. As far as atmoshere goes, Night Corridor is perfectly fine though, distancing itself from the usual Asian horror clichés in favour of some very effective shadowplay with a genuine DIY-feel to it. Props also for Daniel Wu taking on such a risky character, albeit in a pretty dull movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member It has one of the most beautiful jerk-off scenes ever. And of course, Daniel Wu. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Daniel Wu plays twins in this film... It's suppose to be a horror movie, diasappointedly enough there weren't anything scary. The dark side to this film is the psychological scars of the main character raped by the priest as a child, an alcholic mother who keeps calling her son by the dead one's name. Beware though: it's mild gay content, the main character masturbates while rubbing a guy's photo to his chest. That was quite a shocker, not that we see anything other than his hand. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie... even though i still dont really understand the movie after my 3rd time watching it... lol Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] A strange thriller (in the same vein as David Lynch) that does make you think but ultimately, I was truly left confused by the film and cannot not quite recommend it. Interesting visuals throughout, though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
