Triangle *
Johnnie To/Ringo Lam/Wai Ka-fai, 2008
Hong Kong
@ Cinerama

Johnnie To's segment certainly bore some of his trademarks, and was my favorite of the the three, the funniest as well. I wonder if this was a fun project to work on, because the viewing experience doesn't seem to be enhanced in any way. I suppose it might be useful if the three directors have separate followings who would converge on this omnibus project.

@ Egyptian Theater

Movies featuring a deluded protagonist almost always feel like a letdown to me, except The Ruling Class in which Jack's delusions jibe exactly with England's insane political culture to form a brutal satire. The opening scene, though, is pretty much timeless.
