Only Fools Fall in Love
Director: Vincent Kok
Year: 1995
Rating: 5.5
This mild film stars
Wu Chien-lien and Lau Ching-Wan and I rented it only to gaze upon her perfect
face. I don’t really recall the plot all that well. Something to do with
Lau Ching-Wan having to get married and so he chooses Wu Chien-lien who he
has just met. He is wealthy and she is a poor ; he is a bit of a bastard
and she is a bit of a swindler. A perfect match!
Then he has an accident and becomes an imbecile and of course a swell guy;
only then does she really fall in love with him and so on. Great - how silly
is that. It takes place back a hundred years or so and nothing to get excited
about - but WCL does look absolutely beautiful in this. I was surprised when
I came across glowing reviews of this film in the HK Database - so perhaps
I missed something but it didn't do anything for me.
