City Of Glass - Second Best Chinese Movie (after Comrades)


In a Nolstagia mood. Suggested to HK that we watched City of Glass. My third viewing. The last was about 6 years ago.
Such a perfect movie - the scenes of Hong Kong and London are beautiful, and the entire movie is stylish, artistic and full of tension. Many sentimental and touching scenes. And Leon Lai is as usual superb!
The accompanying music too is wonderful. At various touching moments, the director preferred silence over music. I thought it was exacting. Couldn't resist but ordered the soundtrack online immediately.
My favourite chinese movie - next best only to Comrades, Almost a Love Story.
