Label: Radiance Films

Benny Chan's debut film A MOMENT OF ROMANCE (1990) starring Andy Lau and Jacklyn Wu Chien Lien. A beautifully shot example of Hong Kong action cinema, bullet ballet style, and the first in the A MOMENT OF ROMANCE trilogy.

Small-time hood Wah Dee (Andy Lau, Infernal 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 (Jacklyn Wu Chien Lien, The Barefooted Kid) hostage to save his skin, but the bosses order her to be killed. They escape and begin a forbidden relationship while being chased by both sides of the law. Produced by Johnnie To (Throw Down) and Ringo Lam (City on Fire, Wild Search) the film is sensationally directed by Benny Chan in his feature debut.

With a breakneck pace and violence reminiscent of To and Takashi Miike and the beautiful and emotive sensibility of Wong Kar-wai, the film features stunning performances from Lau, and Wu in her debut work. A Moment of Romance is a classic of Hong Kong cinema that has been much imitated but rarely bettered.
