The first independent film released in post-Handover Hong Kong, director Fruit Chan’s atmospheric character study is a rough-and-ready piece of work that ends in the city’s overcrowded subsidized housing projects. The result is a tough portrait of a city on the brink that follows a high school dropout who sees little hope for his future.
