[ CINEMA ONLINE MALAYSIA ]
    Xiao Ye moved to Macau with her father when she was 15. Feeling lonely, the local casino there has become like a home to her. Her lonely days end after she meets Daniel, a real estate broker and father of a teenage son. Love blooms between the two as they start exchanging letters, sharing their most personal and intimate self with each other.

    A genre film from Hong Kong that chooses to set its story during those years of turmoil is tantamount to a double swan song. For these political changes also effectively spelled the end of an independent Hong Kong cinema that was admired across Asia. One of the few directors who has continued to defend and develop the genre is Johnnie To. By producing TRIVISA, To is flying the flag for three up-and-coming directors who tell the stories of three legendary gangsters of the period. This is not an anthology film, but rather an overlapping story of men who become victims of their own legends. As chance brings them all together one day in the same restaurant on the Chinese side of the border, rumours swirl that the three are planning a joint coup. In elegant fashion, hype and hubris lead to their downfall. (Christoph Terhechte)
