I can't add anything to this. Sparrow is delightful.Mr Sausage wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 10:43 amWonderful news! I put it with To Catch a Thief and Soderbergh's Ocean's 11 as visually stunning films where the fun is luxuriating in the effortless style and the masterful way such complicated things can be pulled off with so light a touch.

Re: Chameleon Films
I loved the first act of Sparrow. It's everything Mr Sausage glows about. Unfortunately, it didn't hold its momentum for me - The rest is fine, but that episodic structure reveals a hollowness when the 'plot' kicks in that kinda soils the party. Still a recommendable movie overall.
I clearly don't get what others do from Johnnie To. Of the seven I've seen, only Throw Down and Romancing in Thin Air were particularly remarkable for me
