Hidden Passion

1991 · 91 min

A slow, uneasy drama of repressed desire and rural isolation that simmers with quiet tension and ends in inevitable darkness.

Directed by
Tung Ni Leung
Genres
Drama, Crime
Starring
Asuka Tamami, Ng Jan-Wai, Lau Wai-Han
Overview
There is hidden passion galore as a plain middle aged house wife looks after her wheel chair bound husband who has lost interest in sex. Her young slutty niece, who dresses provocatively wearing thigh high boots, comes to stay with them. There is a nerdy young neighbour who lusts after our Mrs Robinson and of course the ubiquitous local shop keeper who lusts after our young hero for some unknown reason and is a chunky Korean looking actress. The movie is set in the boondocks of HK away from the picturesque city towers that we come to associate with all HK crime melodramas and moves toward ts inevitable finale.
