Writer-director Simon Chung, whose fiIm lnnocence put
him among the leaders of Queer Asian Cinema, raises the bar
once again with this extraordinary taIe of sexuaI obsession,
unrequited love and psychoIogical isoIation - evoking imagery
and themes from such gay cIassics as Brokeback Mountain
and Boys Love that are equaI parts sensual, eIoquent and
heartrending while creating a mood and sensibility aIl its own.
BoyishIy cute Ming (Chi-Kin Lee) is a 22-year-old Hong
Kong maIe prostitute whose party-boy ways Iand him in a
Christian reformatory camp. As the story unfolds recalling his
relationship with his boyfriend and his ex-roommate - sharing
both drugs and "clients" with the Iatter - Ming falIs for Keung
(Guthrie Yip), a handsome, former drug addict who has been
assigned as his sponsor. When Ming and Keung each return to
the outside worId, they face an uncertain future both sexuaIIy
and emotionaIly - and wilI need to reIy on each other to
weather any storm on the horizon.
A hit at fiIm festivaIs around the world, End Of Love abandons
the usuaI themes of identity and coming out which are often characteristic of gay Asian cinema and presents a mature, involving and quite entertaining Iook at what it's like to be young and gay in modern-day Hong Kong. |
