Tristar (1996) |
|
|
A year after Chinese Feast, Tsui Hark makes another Chinese New Year comedy with the same main casts. Since The Lovers, Tsui Hark invariably talks of love the same way: a man and a woman get together with great difficulties, because of their awkwardness and the public eye. Intimacy moments are therefore rare and short-lived, but very intense. With humour and tenderness, Tsui Hark always manages to add a few moments of pure romantic poetry in his movies. In Tri-Star, such moment is for instance when Anita Yuen gives a kiss to the priest in the darkness. Although the comedy part of the movie works well, the pace of the second part is much slower. There are songs one after another probably to make up for the lack of substance in the script. The film is therefore average but far better than its unjustified bad reputation.
