SO FILM
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
On a stormy night, a feng shui master tries to save a prostitute from certain death, but fate has other plans. Arriving at her home, he discovers the young woman's body, the victim of a vile serial killer. A delivery man then arrives at the crime scene, mesmerized and fascinated by what he sees. The feng shui master predicts a dark and deadly future for the young man. But this time, he vows to do everything he can to change the course of events …
Soi Cheang's latest masterpiece, filmed two years after the virtuoso and ultra-violent Limbo , Mad Fate carries in its DNA the legacy of genre stylists who have shaped Hong Kong action cinema, from Ringo Lam ( City on Fire ) to Johnnie To ( Mad Detective ), who serves as producer here. Abandoning gritty black and white for a very "giallesque" color palette, the gifted Soi Cheang delivers a hallucinatory and exhilarating vision of Hong Kong, flirting with both the disenchanted thriller and the supernatural comedy .
