Fruit Chan’s second film, I’ve been unable to track down his first, 1991’s Five Lonely Hearts. This one’s a ghost story, basically a scuzzier version of Stanley Kwan’s Rouge (Ann Hui’s The Secret comes to mind too. This might be the last Hong Kong New Wave film, in that it feels like it should have been made a decade earlier). Lawrence Cheng plays ...
No future. A day later and I’m still thinking about how this is a kind of remake of Dangerous Encounters-First Kind, but instead of Tsui’s psychotic nihilists who get in way over their heads, Chan’s teens are just the diseased detritus of an uncaring, cutthroat (literally) adult world. Tsui’s kids find out that the world is much tougher than they a...
The summer wind came blowin’ in from across the sea It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand Two sweethearts and the summer wind Like painted kites, those days and nights they went flyin’ by The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky Then softer than a piper man, ...
Should have watched this before Durian Durian, but I got my dates mixed up. Regardless, even though this features several of the same (non)actors playing the same characters in the same location, this doesn’t appear to exist on the same timeline as the other film. At least, not as far as I could tell. This one is set mostly before the Handover, and...
First half is basically Fruit Chan’s gritty reboot of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, with a person observing the routines of their prostitute neighbor. (The observer in this case being a young girl rather than a writer/gigolo.) But then in the second half, the prostitute goes home (from Hong Kong to frozen Northeast China) and the movie basically becomes ...
The first half is goofy and almost romantic, with Zhou Xun prancing around the denizens of a slum making men inordinately happy (a father-son pair of very large hog butchers, a young pimp with a website), like some kind of magical Mainland orgasm fairy. Then, in the second half, she disappears and its revealed that she’s been running a scam on them...
Everybody Poops or Never Shit Alone Fruit Chan goes international, uniting the globe (New York and India, Hong Kong and Beijing, Busan and Rome) with the two most essential human impulses: the elimination of bodily waste and the search for magic cures to stave off the inevitability of the death of our loved ones. It’s Chan at his most hopeful and u...
Easy to see how this started as a short, as there really isn’t a feature’s worth of material here. Just an idea (rich people eat fetuses to stay young) but no real development of it or drama or story to speak of. Bai Ling is terrific, but Miriam Yeung and Tony Leung (The Other) don’t have much to do aside from eating gross stuff.
Fruit Chan’s The Midnight Afterwas my favorite film from the Seattle Film Festival earlier this year, and it remains a favorite after seeing it again in Vancouver. It’s no less mysterious than it was on that initial viewing. Its dizzying series of inexplicablities seem more than ever to me an attempt at creating something more unsettling than the g...
It’s a terrible title for a bunch of reasons: generic, boring, and doesn’t say anything about the movie. The Chinese title is 谋杀似水年华, which google translate tells me means “Murder”, though that seems like an awful lot of characters for one word. On letterboxd, critic and subtitler Kevin Ma tells me it actually translates as “Murdering Time That Fli...
