Juliet in Love (2000)
Reviewed by: shelly on 2000-10-30
A small masterpiece. Wilson Yip gets stronger and stronger, playing with genres, building fresh new movies out of seemingly tired conventions. Great performances by Sandra Ng (HK film award winner this year?) and Francis Ng anchor this romance/triad film that has so much going for it, it over-delivers. Suffused with feeling, graced with gloriously creative cinematography, lighting, and a superb score. That the HK film industry can come up with this rich drama in the same year as JIANG HU: THE TRIAD ZONE, NEEDING YOU, and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE hints that it may be well on the way to an artistic (if not commercial) revival.
