'Sei mong se jun', with it's fascinating cinematography and background score tells us the story of Jiney. Jiney is a lonely, introverted and talented young lady who's in search of herself in a somewhat deceitful world. She only confides her thoughts to her friend/cousin Jas. She reveals a deep painful secret that is destroying her inner self. Photography is her passion but she lacks the inspiration to find it fulfilling until she develops a fascination (which gradually shifts to obsession) for death. Why does she find comfort and solace in such a disturbing act?
The Pang brothers have really created a visually wonderful film. The camera, the lighting, the choice of colour, all of it adds to the beauty. Oxide Pang gives us a visual treat. The background piano tune really brings out the mood. The screenplay during the first hour is very well written and the events unfold quite smoothly. However, it is during the last 20 minutes that the plot seems to take a different direction and (spoiler alert) it was quite disappointing when the identity of the killer is revealed.
The performances are quite good. Race Wong and Rosanne Wong share a warm chemistry and their relationship is very sensitively portrayed. Anson Leung as the awkward guy in love is impressive.
This really is a worthwhile watch mainly because of it's visual appeal that really makes you feel a part of its world. Even otherwise it's quite a decent watch.
