Title: Triangle
Country: Hong-Kong
Year: 2007
Directors: Johnnie To, Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark
Actors: Simon Yam, Louis Koo, Sun Hong-Lei
Release date: November 2007 in Asia (was first shown at Cannes 2007)
I know the first Cannes reviews weren't brilliant, but I still think this could be a very good film.
What do you guys think ?
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".
Personally I liked it a lot but yeah, I can see why most people don't.

Triangle (Tie saam gok) – 3,5/5
Instead of directing three separate episodes Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and Johnnie To deliver a single storyline, with each director helming one third of the movie. The outcome is an undeniable mess, but a very enjoyable one. The movie begins as a crime thriller but soon gets weirder and weirder. By the time To takes over the movie has turned into a sort of violent mystery farce told with a straigh face. Lam Suet’s appearance near the end is a small classic that will be equally hated and loved. Just like the whole movie.

Yeah, the Johnnie To segment was ridiculous.
I thought the rest was quite good, but nothing special.

Thanks Hung. It looks like an easy winner for the Masters of Cinema DVD or BD. At least with HK DVDs you can say they're cheap, you cannot even say that with HK BDs.
