Chinese Box

 

USA 1998, 99 minutes
Dir. Wayne Wang
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Romance

 

Aroview: Set in Hong Kong just prior to the British handover to China, this follows the last dissatisfied days of dying journalist Jeremy Irons as he pads the tumultuous streets, infatuated with the beautiful Gong Li. Going for jagged, handheld camerawork, dir. Wang (SMOKE) expresses a pungent sense of urgency, but there's more than a few stereotypes lurking in the script (by Paul Theroux among others). Also stars Maggie Cheung.
