Love unto Waste Movie Review

Stanley Kwan's Love Unto Waste is a flashy existential film about love and friendship in Hong Kong of the 1980s. The strong performances by its young cast (Tony Leung would later make a strong impression in Kwan's Centre Stage/The Actress, released in 1992) should have won this exceptional import wider U.S. distribution than it initially received.

1986 97m/C HK Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Chow Yun-Fat, Irene Wan, Elaine Jin, Tsai Chin; D: Stanley Kwan; W: Lai Kit, Chiu Tai An-Ping. VHS
