Passion 1995
Director: Clarence Fok
With echoes of Wong Kar-wai, Naked Killer's Fok herein spins three intersecting tales of longing in a gangster-inflected
Hong Kong. The fresh-from-San Francisco Yam arrives to search
for his missing girlfriend, Chung, be-decked in a variety of wigs,
pines for a drug warlord's kept boy, and Mak relentlessly looks
for love over the phone. Adorned with coincidence confusion, and
colorful lighting, Passion 1995 provides a tasty blend of melancholy and action.
Riverview Theater is located at 3800 42nd Avenue South, Minneapolis
