The Skinny: Political correctness masquerading as socially-conscious drama. A noble effort from director Shu Kei, but not a successful one.
More homosexual angst as Hong Kong’s fascination with alternative lifestyles turns yet another corner. In the past, heterosexual wish fulfillment polluted most films (i.e. He and She), but sensitivity seems to be the current trend (Happy Together and this film). George Lam is Law Kar-Sing, a closeted forty-something gay man whose relationship with openly gay hairdresser Sunny (Jordan Chan) causes all sorts of problems for the shy, quiet Sing. The return of his childhood friend (Christine Ng) only serves to heighten the problem as she’s got some unanswered romantic questions. All this plus “typical” situations depicting homosexuality in HK.
