Exodus

 

aka: Cheut ai kup gei
Hong Kong 2007, 94 minutes
Dir. Pang Ho-Cheung
In Cantonese with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime / Girl-centric, Policier

 

Aroview: An indifferent Hong Kong detective slowly becomes convinced that women are conspiring to kill off the entire male species in this curious melange of surrealist comedy and earnest police procedural.

Best approached through dir. Pang’s sleek, modernist imagery (atypical for a Hong Kong movie), this is less mesmerizing when hinged on its conspiracy theory: a ripe premise largely squandered here by the film’s inability to choose between black humour or end-of-world seriousness. Still, a gorgeously shot feminist tease worth persisting with.
