Love Will Tear Us Apart (1999)

Directed by Nelson Yu Lik-wai

Drama, Romance · 1h 49m

The film gets under the skin of a very marginalized group: recent immigrants to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Belying the expectation that they will belong in a territory now returned to China's sovereignty, they find themselves lonely, frustrated, poor, and employable only in the most menial jobs, from elevator service staff to prostitution.
