According to Liu Yunwen, the new director who directed the film, "Bound Men and Women" hopes to describe extraordinary love with a unique vision. The script attracts Chen Kun and Carina Lau to join forces, and is also joined by heavyweight filmmakers such as Shi Nansheng and Du Kefeng.

Although Chen Kun and Carina Lau co-starred in many works, but did not play the opponent's play, "Bound Men and Women" became the first film of the two "hands-on". Chen Kun played a "handsome silk" driver, A Hui, in the "Bound Men and Women", driving for the car, Liu Tailing.

Media review

"Breakthrough" As the first film feature film of Hong Kong newcomer director Liu Yunwen, on May 18, 2019, at the Cannes International Film Festival "a unit" and the audience, although it is not surprising, there are shortcomings to pick, but do For the debut, I can already see the director's certain skill and intentions for the script and the director. The performances of the two male and female stars can also be said to be in place.

Said to be a new director, in fact, Liu Yunwen has considerable experience in the film. She graduated from Columbia University and graduated from the London Film Academy. She won the graduation short film at the 33rd International Film Festival in Hong Kong. She also participated in the 8th Genius Concentration Camp during the Berlin Film Festival in Germany in 2019. In the preparatory stage of the project, "Boundary" was selected to participate in the 2019 Hong Kong Asian Film Venture Capital Association, and in 2019, it was shortlisted for the Paris Film Festival investment negotiation project.

The film's behind-the-scenes production team is also powerful, Shi Nansheng's production, the famous photographer Du Kefeng, and Zhang Shuping's art director. The Hong Kong atmosphere displayed by "Over the Border" is very different from the Hong Kong atmosphere that we often see under our lens. There are few crowds and streets, and there are no bustling commercial shopping centers. The lens is more of a green hill in the distance. The rivers and the shades of the suburbs, its nature and close to reality, are in sharp contrast to the reality of anxiety and crisis with the people who live in it, rich or poor.

Beautiful shots and scenery, Liu Jialing [microblogging] played by the wide wife is especially favored by the Du Kefeng lens, the heroine's style and mature elegance are unobstructed. Time and experience make Carina, who plays the leading role, mature a lot, and the role is more calm and natural. In the film, the rich wife who used to live a superior life suddenly broke the economic source because her husband disappeared. Her self-esteem or vanity made her have to swallow the broken teeth. She barely defended her face and cried silently behind her. Chen Kun’s private driver, at this time, is also in a hurry for the production of the super-life’s wife who is about to go to work in Hong Kong.

However, there is a slight deviation from the imagination conveyed by the previous plot propaganda. Although Chen Kun and Carina Lau often appear under the lens at the same time because of employer relations, they are doing things differently, each is anxious and hard working in the world of their own life, and there is almost no communication. To some extent, this narrative simplifies, so that the two become two points intersecting the same plane, reducing the level and thickness. Until the end, the fate of the two had a direct contrast and response, which made people think and recollect.

The first half of the film tells the life of the heroes and heroines, and slowly leads to problems. However, the lack of organic organization's narrative makes the preparation and rhythm slow and scattered. In the lower part, Liu Yunwen, who is the director of the newcomer, slowly finds the state. The narrative became smooth and concentrated, and the story began to appeal.

The end was quite meaningful. When the driver threw down Liu Jialing, holding the wife who was about to give birth, the latter also abandoned the faulty luxury BMW. One person carrying the bag and gradually drifting away on the avenue in the suburbs. . It seems to give people new hope and courage in sorrow.

International Film Festival praised
