Not for everyone
This movie is quirky, weird and everything else that can not be considered mainstream. But it’s also fun, light, heavy, violent, romantic and many other things … amongst others too: Original! Or maybe unique and refreshing are more accurate words.

If you are not familiar with the work of Johnnie To, maybe this isn’t the first of his movies to watch. There is “Running out of Time”, there is “Fulltime Killer”, PTU and many others! If you like them, then you can try this movie too. But again, it’s off-beat, it has a main character who is very … strange to say the least and it has a very crazy idea (or many crazy ideas) behind it all … I won’t go into details, but this movie and how it was made (shot, edited etc.) is simply great! If you allow yourself to enjoy it’s sheer craziness

Innermost thoughts.
During the final days of the ICM best films of 2007 poll,I kept a look out for any DVD’s I had,which I might be at first unaware are from the year. At the same time gathering Noir movies for a challenge on the site,I picked up a Masters of Cinema release which has been sitting in the “To watch” pile for years (!) Seeing on the back of the sleeve that it had come out in 2007,it felt like the perfect time to at last meet the mad detective.

View on the film:

Introducing the audience to Bun’s ability to visually see other peoples inner personalities as “ghosts” in a all-in manner, the screenplay by Kin-Yee Au, and co-director Ka-Fai Wai refreshingly avoids offering any dry origin for Bun’s supernatural power, instead brilliantly feeding it into the fractured state of Noir loner Bun, whose focus in seeing these ghosts becomes blurred by the breakdown of his marriage, causing Bun to create a imaginary version of his wife.

Being able to display the true image of suspects on the inside, the writers wonderfully twist the Neo-Noir path Bun takes inside out, via having to dig himself deep into sighting the spirit of fellow cop Wong, igniting paranoia in corrupt police as Bun digs closer to the truth, leading to a a wonderfully bitter ending where the true image of what took place is altered.

Made under the Hong Kong indie film studio he has co-founded, ( a rarity since the Handover) directing auteur Johnnie To & cinematographer Siu-Keung Cheng continue to expand upon the dopplegangers and mistrust themes of To’s works. Reflecting Bun seeing multiple versions of the same person in dazzlingly stylised reflecting shots gazing at the various personalities confronting him, cut with razor sharp editing by Tina Baz to above shots viewing the grim reality on the ground.

Bringing sanity out of the madness of the detective with a blistering smoked warehouse final, To recoils the action with a ice cool, Neo-Noir atmosphere, dicing Bun’s investigating with a steamed, clinical dark blue, which To brilliantly cracks on surrealist flourishes mirroring Bun’s degrading sanity. Detecting a role written with him in mind,Ching Wan Lau gives a excellent turn as Bun, thanks to Lau balancing a Noir precession in solving the case, with a increasingly weakened grip on reality for the mad detective.
