志明與春嬌 Love in a Puff

Shaw invited me to catch this latest film from Hong Kong on Tuesday evening. The film has a great Chinese title, it's called 《志明與春嬌》. The English title is 'Love in a puff'.

The guy from Shaw deliberately highlighted to me in his email that Mayday's song by the same title will NOT be featured in this film. =))

Coincidentally, I had chanced upon the trailer for this film while looking for Mayday's 《志明與春嬌》 on youtube just a few weeks ago. I did make a mental note to self that I'd catch it. =))

The trailer is very promising.

It is true that people around the smoking area bond better. Coz you are stuck in the same spot everyday for at least 6 minutes and a few times a day. Name another communal activity like that.

I wish we had caught the film in Cantonese though. Coz the film is rather dialogue-ish, and quite a few jokes made no sense in dubbed Mandarin.

Even though there were always light-hearted moments, I thought everyone in the film lived a sad superficial existence, which is not unlike having a smoke. It's a light temporal relief with invisible nasty long term downsides.

Miriam Yeung's smoking wasn't really convincing. It's all in the fingers.

I caught myself yearning for a smoke twice during the film. Sigh...
