Hot Summer Days reminds me very much of a Woody Allen film shot
in Hong Kong.
Perhaps
he will take the hint after his sees this film and shoot his next one there. As
you watch all these characters, you could easily start casting actors that
Woody has used in many of his films. This film really touched me and the
direction by Wing Shya and Tony Chan
orchestrated
with a fast pace and quick flashes with a music video feel will keep your
interest. Writers Chan and Lucretia Ho created
a script with all of the elements to make you
laugh and cry and you will identify with all of them.
The film
was shot by Sion Michel and his choices along with the director make this a
film to compete with all these hot summer films. American audiences will be
amazed and they will be looking for the next film by these talented filmmakers.
With a cast of a dozen different characters they have accomplished what they
set out to do in very hot Hong Kong summer in interconnected
stories.
So enjoy
your popcorn and candy and give yourself a treat
“Hot Summer Days” is a film to
watch on these chilly nights
