A Dark Turn in Independent Hong Kong Cinema
5 June 2003
It is interesting to note how the films are evolving in Planet Hong Kong's wacky indie scene. This films takes allot from the styles of Wong-Kar Wai and the Cinematography of Chris Doyle (odd angles, filming off of t.v.s......) Nonetheless it does achieve somewhat of an original feel. It freely floats between realism and fantasy, and integrates allot of Japanese style shock value...the only difference in comparison to someone like Miike, is that Runaway Pistol film's these situations in a frighteningly realistic method.....implimenting a type of emoitional katharsis that is lacking in Miike's comic book filming style. 7.5 / 10
