    ♡ hong konger film pick! ♡

    BL* drama feature film about a highly dysfunctional relationship.  plenty of unique cinematography, experimental editing, raw/complex emotion, and layers of symbolism to analyze (some of which relate to Hong Kong's political situation at this very specific time in history - right before the handover of Hong Kong).  *note: this is queer cinema, not a "typical" BL.

    ♦ sixth title in the franchise (the only non-japanese). a hong kong series remake of the first series (second in franchise).  storyline and beats are extremely close to the japanese series but relationships between support characters are given much more screen time.
