Love Will Tear Us Apart
1999 · 109 MIN · IMDB 6.0 · 225 VOTES · DIR. Nelson Yu Lik-wai
Overview
The film gets under the skin of a very marginalized group: recent immigrants to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Belying the expectation that they will belong in a territory now returned to China's sovereignty, they find themselves lonely, frustrated, poor, and employable only in the most menial jobs, from elevator service staff to prostitution.
