I'm slightly ashamed to say I only saw “A Moment of Romance” for the first time recently, but sometimes, one viewing will show you that classics are classics for a reason. Gratefully, I was able to watch Benny Chan's Hong Kong masterpiece on the big screen at the Far East Film Festival, where my mentors insisted it would blow me away. Rarely does this phrase find a footing in me as someone who tends to dwell on slow-moving, melancholic queer cinema, but I'm happy to admit that they were correct.
The story itself is simple: a wealthy young Hong Kong heiress, Jo-Jo (Jacklyn Wu) falls in love with a toughened-by-the-streets triad member, Wah Dee (Andy Lau). Drawn to each other but unwilling to get too close for fear of endangering the other, they become the epitome of star-crossed lovers.

Throughout his career, the works of Johnnie To have always had a distinct European touch, especially those regarding gangsters, killers and heists, a blend of Eastern and Western influences you might say. Unsurprisingly, To himself had been toying with the idea to emphasize the connections in a future project, until he finally got the chance to do so from French producers Michèle and Laurent Pétin, who had been planning to collaborate with the filmmaker for quite some time. “Vengeance”, as their project was called, combines To’s sense of style, location and timing, especially regarding action scenes, but also tells a very interesting story about the overall point of revenge, and how it forever leaves a mark on people. The film would premier at Cannes Film Festival in 2009 and would go on to receive many favorable reviews, praising the performances and the direction, with some even calling it a masterpiece.
