Turn Left, Turn Right (Hong Kong, 2003), Running Time: 95 Minutes
Life is full of funny surprises and Canto-pop singer GiGi Leung and J-superstar Kaneshiro Takeshi are about to find out just how wonderful this can be in Turn Left Turn Right! Co-directed by Johnny To and Wai Ka Fai, dive into this fairy tale like story that was based on bestseller novelist/artist Jimmy Liao’s novel of the same name.
Gigi Leung plays Eve Choi a professional translator who is tired of translating only cheap literature, while Kaneshiro Takeshi plays John Liu a passionate violinist who never seems to find an audience that truly respects his music.
The two characters of the tale happen to live not only in the same town and on the same street but also in the same building divided only by their private four walls. Yet, they never directly meet because one of them always turns left, while the other always turns right. Everything seems to take a miraculous turn after their first encounter in a park. But as luck (or bad luck) would have it, an afternoon shower cuts their rendezvous short and their phone numbers that they exchanged are no longer readable. Will the two ever meet again? Find out in this romance that is bound to tug on a few heartstrings and warm even more hearts.
