Haunting

As dark as this film starts off, it becomes more and more beautiful up to an ending that suggests hope and a new beginning. The change of setting also goes in line with this development. The film begins on a derelict old ship with only a few lonely sailors on board and finishes in the colourful backdrop of Hongkong and Nikos sailing home.

Stephen Rea's portrayal of Nikos is very intense. The Chinese girl who plays Li has a dignity and maturity that is very touching. There is not much talking in this film, but that serves even better to create the haunting atmosphere it has. The music, reminiscent of Philip Glass' compositions, adds to this effect.

This is a movie that will be on my mind for a long time.

Great

A nice meeting between two different worlds and different cultures, and ages. I've got the sensation that we should keep our eyes and minds open to see many beautiful things that the world gives us every moment free and we do not see

Wonderful drama

I saw this film in 1997 and have hunted for it since. It´s one of the best I´ve ever seen - at the same time very moving, sad, ugly and beautiful. Stephen Rea is one of my favourite actors and perfect for this role, I think. This film touches you. It makes you think. Extra points for the end, which is lovely and surprising, like a haiku poem. It makes you leave the film with a glad feeling.

Brilliant! Disturbing! Does What Film Does Best

This one takes you into another realm as only a really good movie can--from the dark, disturbing opening to the a-little-too-fairy-tale end. Stephen Rhea, the straight guy in "The Crying Game) at his best. This is one of my all-time favorites. One of the most thought provoking and emotionally involving films I've seen.
