Love in the Time of Twilight (1995)
Reviewed by: jfierro on 1999-12-21
I consider this another tragedy of 1995 --- a fantastic film that was overlooked by a cynical audience. Tsui Hark comes through again, seamlessly mixing a rousing time-travelling plotline, a feuding romance between two talented stars, and some very inventive special effects. Everything is so good, it's hard to say what the strongest points are. Certainly Charlie Young and Nicky Wu light up the screen as two antagonists thrown together by supernatural circumstances. They come across as witty, boisterous, and romantic. A great sign for the future. Tsui Hark is just an incredibly creative filmmaker, and he just seems to be getting better with time. Sadly, the disappointing box office means we won't see any more films like this for a while.
