The story aside, even though I think it's quite good, but the camera work in this film is just brilliant. I mean, you just feel as if you were there, all those long shots that show streets, stairs, shops... It's been a long time since I saw such a brilliant film. If someone knows another one, I mean something this natural about HK, please, let me know...
shareHK was absolutely beautiful in this film.
But if you want a film that really shows off the Wan Chai district, please, please, do not miss "Crazy n' the City." It makes you fall in love with the area.
With Joey Yung (another pop princess), Eason Chan, and Francis Ng, it's one of the best HK films in 2005.
Yeah, well, it´s the most obvious answer, but concerning beautiful and brillant camera work in Honkong movies, the first name that comes to your mind would be Christopher Doyles camera work for Wong-Kar Wais movies.
It is, well, breath-taking.
Check out Aberdeen (2014). It has some beautiful HK photography as well.
