Turn Left Turn Right (Heung joh chow heung yau chow) by Johnnie To and Ka-Fai Wai was set in urban in Taipei. This is a movie about two people (Gigi Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro), who are destined to be together but by some twist of circumstances they never find each other. We see vast crowds as the city teems with people who even in the midst of a heavy rain, all politely wait at an intersection for the Walk Sign.  I am not familiar with the original illustrated novel though. It is a fairy tale for grownups, with humor and sadness. 


John Liu(Takeshi Kaneshiro) the guy beneath the green umbrella. In the film, he plays a struggling musician, a violinist actually.



This is Eve Choi(Gigi Leung) the woman beneath the red umbrella. The beautiful girl who reads a book while standing in the midst of a rainstorm. Played the role as a skilled translator who works for a Taiwanese publishing firm translating European literature into Chinese.



It is a film made from a graphic novel written and drawn by the famous Taiwanese author/artist Jimmy Liao. What you might call an adult fairy tale. Of course, as we all know – that’s what most romantic-comedies are at their core. Fairy tales for adults. 

As the film’s tagline – says – Even parallel lines might cross paths some day. Wishful thinking, right? Three point five is the rating and I give the film this score because I like the leads who far outshine the script and the plot.
