Love Unto Waste (1986)
Director: Stanley Kwan
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Here, at last, are images of Hong Kong life that readers of The Face and i-D would recognise. Four smart young things spend their time dressing, bonking, and getting smashed - until one of them is brutally, arbitrarily murdered in a burglary. The survivors come under the scrutiny of an eccentric cop, and their underlying fears and regrets slowly but surely emerge. Thanks to ace performances, the effect is surprisingly fresh and moving.Author: TR
