Get out your kleenex folks - this is probably the best HK weepie in years. If you can get through this one without shedding a tear or two, you are a better man/woman than I am! Simple and corny premise - a blind/mute patient falls in love with his nurse (Cecilia Cheung - and who wouldn't) - she with him - but he dies before they are able to tell one another. But he gets to come back for 5 days - bit in a different body and cannot tell her who he really is. Tears follow. Cecilia gives as true a performance as any you will see in a film of this kind - and its worth seeing it for her alone.
