Review
This endearing film is about love, its ups
and downs, agony and bliss in all its complexity. But it is made simple by the
relationship of a man, charismatically played by Louis Ko, and a woman whose challenging role is convincingly taken by Kuo
Tsai-Chieh. Both were escaping from failed relationships
and were thrown together in Paris in unexpected, awkward and sometimes humorous
situations.
Through the relationship emerge the lessons about love. In times
when love is lost, support of friends is critical to your recovery. In our
pursuit of success and material wealth, we often take for granted loved ones until
they are gone. There are ‘devils and angels’ in relationships and you need to
see them as a part and parcel of your life in order to move on. The director,
James Yuen, has ably woven into the story poignant and tender moments, with a
touch of romance thrown in. Set in Paris, with Eiffel Tower often as a
backdrop, the film offers a glimpse of the enchanting city as well as the
peculiarity of some Parisian neighbours.
For those in love, the film will bring them
the warmth and comfort of having a ‘soul mate’, a point repeated in the story.
For those not yet in love or unfortunate enough to be out of love, the film
gives hope and a sense of maturity to take one step at a time and learn to enjoy
each step taken with the people around you. I found this film well worth the
time spent and enjoyed every moment of it.
Rating
I shall rate it at 4/5. The movie will be showing in cinema on the 13 Aug 2015.
