Review :
Flawed, but an interesting, watchable film nevertheless
This film has the look of a low-budget film by an inexperienced film-maker. However, it has an interesting story, two interesting main characters, and ultimately is worth watching.
The setting is a university in Hong Kong, and the two main characters are a young Chinese man (19 years old) and a considerably older (40s or 50s?) professor of English Literature. The dialogue is in both Chinese and English, with both languages subtitled in the other language.
Some of the flaws: the sound is sometimes lost below the background music, and is uneven in quality; the DVD I saw it on was not letterboxed, and the adaptation to the TV aspect ratio cut off the sides of many of the english subtitles, which was a bit frustrating.
The ending too, is a bit unrealistic and disappointing. But I'm still glad I watched it, and still will probably share it with friends.
