A representive movie about HK minority
Good but very sad
Hong Kong social commentary film about a shrink who helps the mentally ill street people of the city. He's followed by a reporter who has heard of his job and follows him about reporting on his patients and their lives. Good but more than a bit manipulative in its tragedy upon tragedy story line. Its a sad story that probably is accurate in many ways while amping up the violence and sadness in the name of giving the audience entertainment. The film stars several well known actors in small roles including Chow Yun Fat as a father living with his two kids in a cardboard shanty town. Its an odd duck of a movie that is atypical of anything I've seen from China. However while it is heart felt its also contrived and rather bleak to the point that I don't know who would actually want to see the film. I can't really recommend it, even to those who like bleak because this is something else. Worth a look if you want to see your favorite actors- like Chow- in off beat roles, but at the same time you may regret it because it will sadden you so. 6.5 out of 10
