5 Movies That Take You On A Cinematic Journey Through Hong Kong

This mystery thriller film follows the misfortunes and entanglements of an eccentric fortune teller (simply called “The Master”) with a psychopathic, cat-killing delivery boy, who is possessed with an irrepressible urge for homicide. The Master frantically tries to change the latter’s destiny while struggling to maintain his own sanity. Set in a surreal city of sex workers, mystics and psychopaths, “Mad Fate” is a crazed, morally complex addition to classic Cantonese noir. It is directed by Soi Cheang and stars Gordon Lam, Lokman Yeung (from the Cantopop boy band MIRROR), Berg Ng, Ng Wing-sze and Peter Chan. The film won Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Editing at the 42^nd Hong Kong Film Awards.
