Bolei Chi Sing (1999)

Member Rating:

A romantic drama, Bolei chi sing/City Of Glass begins with a car crash, in which Raphael (Leon Lai) and Vivian (Shu Qui) are killed in London on New Year's Eve. The two were lovers, but both were married to other people. Raphael's son and Vivian's daughter, both adults, meet in Hong Kong to collect their parents' remains, and as the two get to know each other better, we learn more about Raphael and Vivian's relationship in flashbacks that trace the past 25 years. Director Mabel Cheung uses the relationships of these two couples as a metaphor for the changes Hong Kong went through over the past three decades. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Touching exploration of the viscitudes (and viscosity) of life. A captivating exploration of the decisions people make.

This is another sappy, Hong Kong / British handover story containing simple minded dialogue. You might see this type of production quality and melodrama on a Hong Kong TV movie of the week. The acting and directing was slightly better than your average TV show. Despite his excellent command of the English language, Daniel Wu's frequent mixing of Cantonese and English was irritating. Surprisingly, Shu Qi's acting performance was good and fit her character well. Despite being output in Dolby Digital 5.1, the audio came across as mostly stereo. As for extras, there's a "Stars' Files" option containing filmographies for three of the actors. Not recommended.
