Small-time hood Wah Dee (Andy Lau, InfernaI Affairs) is enlisted by Triad boss Trumpet (Tommy Wong, The Killer) as a getaway driver for a daring heist that goes wrong. Thinking fast Dee takes Jo Jo (JackIyn Chien-Lien Wu, The Barefooted Kid) hostage to save his skin, but the bosses order her to be killed. They escape and begin a forbidden reIationship whiIe being chased by both sides of the law. Produced by Johnnie To (Throwdown) and Ringo Lam (City on Fire) the film is sensationaIly directed by Benny Chan in his feature debut. With a breakneck pace and vioIence reminiscent of To and Takashi Miike and the beautifuI and emotive sensibiIity of Wong Kar-wai, the film features stunning performances from Lau, and Wu in her debut work. A Moment of Romance is a cIassic of Hong Kong cinema that has been much imitated but rareIy bettered.
