The Flaneur

Directed by Lai Ming Yan

With Angel Koo Tsui-Ying, Monsha Wong, Eric Christopher Chow and Clifford Tsang Man-Wai

Two men, a suit and tie by day, turn urban strollers at night and loiter aimlessly around the labyrinth of streets, MTR stations, bars and playgrounds, seeking an escapade from responsibilities that weigh heavily on the mind and fatigue that never goes away. A young woman who has all the time to kill goes to movies and private gigs and answers a stream of inconsequential calls. For a doomsday believer who distributes leaflets to ‘help’ non-believer, it’s Apocalypse Now! It’s inevitable their paths cross at some junctures just as the night passes and a new day dawns.
