Eastern cinemtic emotional subtlety at play again .........,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kitchen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Having had no previous experience of Ho Yim or indeed the novel this film is based on , I have just witnessed a truly beautiful thing . An experience which deals with love, loss and the constant unpredictabilty of life. The two leads are truly fantastic with performances to pull every emotional string we have inside of us. Similar to Wong Kar Wai's 'In the Mood for Love' in the aspect of producing audience empathy through the simple things in life (here we have our characters standing in rain or sleeping on a kitchen floor) this film may have you finding yourself being brought to tears of laughter and sadness in equal parts. A truly stunning and moving piece of cinema ............

Yim-Ho and Yashimoto : a winning combination,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kitchen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Anybody who has had the chance to see the fantastic murder mystery "The day when the sun turned cold" by Yim-Ho and anybody who has read "Kitchen" by Banana Yoshimoto will be enthralled by this movie. Yim-Ho was the perfect director to adapt this melancholic little book. Fantastic athmosphere, quirky scenes, this is the perfect support for some mind travel.

Impeccably stylish and very beautiful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kitchen [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Yim-Ho's enchanting and lyrical film "Kitchen" is adapted from the best-selling novel by Banana Yoshimoto. Aggie (Yasuko Tomita) is a beautiful young woman hiding away from the world after the loss of her grand-mother. Invited to move in with Louie (Jordan Chan) and his mother (Law Kar Ying) she slowly rediscovers her appetite for life. A charming and visually dazzling film from Yim-Ho, director of the highly acclaimed "The Day The Sun Turned Cold", "Kitchen" tells a moving and poetic love story laced with off-beat humour and beautiful imagery.
