Sean Lau plays a father trying to come to terms with the death of his wife and daughter at the hands of his son. The attack just came out of left field and he tries desperately to come to terms with what happens and whether he can help his son deal with his schizophrenia.
Bouncing through time the
film tries to give us a clue as to why events happened as they did. Things are
not always clear. This a slow burn film that gets under your skin and rummages around
there. This is one of a number of recent and semi-recent films and series that
try to make sense of events that ultimately make no sense.
This film is all about Sean
Lau. He is one of the greatest actors working in the world and it’s his
towering performance that is the reason to see this.
Outside of Lau I’m not
certain what I think of the film. Yes its well made and well acted by everyone
but the tone of the film is one of self importance. It’s very much about
something though I’m not sure what that is. The film is also incredibly bleak and not
something I would willingly sit through again.
