Sang yat fai lok (2007)
If you're up for a sob story.
I gave this film a 10 out of 10 because it had achieved what I wanted out of it when I first rented the DVD, a heart-warming yet tragic love story that will squeeze the tears out of the most jaded of men.
Excellent performance by both the leads, cosy settings, good direction, and a fine piece of cinematography makes this a must-watch for a love-story traditionalist.
Some critics might argue about the ending which was unfairly labelled cliché. But in view of the avalanches of movies with radical endings; or twists, for the sake of twisting, that is in existence in almost every films produced in this era, some old-fashion clichés might not be such a bad thing.
This film jog back memories of great love tales by romance dramatist Erich Segal, yet, it is adapted from a short story written by the female lead, the multi-talented Rene Liu Ruo-ying.
Watch it. Buy it. Rent it. It will make a lovely companion on weekend evenings with a consort in tender cuddles and succoring hugs. Or maybe not.
