love in a puff (Ma15+)

Dir: Pang Ho-Cheung
2010 Hong Kong 100mins 35mm
Cantonese language with English subtitles

From the director of festival favourites Isabella and You shoot, I shoot, Pang Ho-Cheung brings up a new smoky romantic comedy. Since 2007, the Hong Kong Health Authority has implemented an anti-smoking law that bans smoking in all indoor areas. This pushes office smokers to take their cigarette breaks in the street. Two smokers find an awkward romance is blossomed while they exhale the anixiety of their nicotine rush in a alley. Starring Hong Kong pop queen Miriam Yeung and Shawn Yue from Infernal Affair II.

Official selection of Sydney International Film Festival 2010

Chick here to read the full reviews -

'LOVE IN A PUFF is set in a Hong Kong we rarely see: a firecely modern cosmopolis where twenty and thirtysomethings work and socialise, smoke and drink, flirt and date around...It is so charming, intelligently executed and universal in its themes that it deserves to score wide arthouse sales.' - Screen Daily, Mike Goodrigde

'LOVE IN A PUFF is something of a gem. Pang takes a simple everyday premise and lets it unfold naturally, without any sense of urgency or any overriding need for it to come to any revelatory conclusions, and it develops a naturalistic credibility as a result.' - Twitch, James Marsh.
