Low key but well done

I was quite pleasantly surprised by this film. The storyline was not absolutely dazzling, but there were some novel touches. But the artistic and aesthetic quality of the filming - minus the opening scene which seemed a little amateur at first glance - was actually pretty high.

The main male character is sweet and affable, reasonably harmless and soft-hearted. He meets a new guy who was having trouble with his boyfriend, and they quickly become quite close as a result. However, it turns out he is not all he had hoped for. I found it interesting to see a glimpse of homosexual lifestyles in China. In the secondary storyline, a lady meets a new handsome man, but she seems to have a partner already.

As I stated earlier, there are some excellent shots of her apartment, her dancing. It reminded me of Amelie a bit, but not quite as artistic as Amelie. The sound recording was more amateur than the visual filming quality, too.
