Cross Harbour Tunnel

1999 · 93 min

A scrappy, uneven patchwork that swings from awkward sweetness to lurid melodrama, held together by raw energy and a grimy city-night mood.

Overview: Wong's no-budget indie (dreamt up in a night, shot in a week) tells four distinct stories which intersect in the manner of Mystery Train. They range from character-based comedy (a young couple nervously venture into a 'love hotel' for the first time) to Grand Guignol melodrama (a Filipina maid seeks revenge on her two-timing lover - the actress being the director's mother's real-life maid).
How it feels: Dark, absurd, melancholic and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, revenge, betrayal, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
