Perhaps Love
Today I bring you the first movie that is worthy of a five super-yellow stars rating in movielicious - Perhaps Love. Yay!
This movie is a brave and ambitious effort by Peter Chan Ho-Sun. I’ve never seen anything like it before in Hong Kong movie scenes. The last musical movie from HK was done like 30 years ago, or so I heard. It is so different, yet very nicely done. Sure, there’re defects here and there but overall I like it that this movie doesn’t try to impress the audience with how grand and ‘titanic’ the love story is. It is the simplest form of love story done nicely which is really rare nowadays as people tends to forget how to even get the most basic things right. The dance choreography could have been better, but the soundtracks that drive the intensity and beauty in most scenes are splendidly done. The set is dreamy (where the hell is that place?) and the casts are…. you know what, it is really hard to write a proper review about this movie without giving too much away. So go watch it and let me know your thoughts ^_^.
