Fest Promo Trailer for Taiwanese Film 'Love Is a Gun' by Lee Hong-Chi

"Don't cross the line. You can't just do anything for money." Screen Daily has debuted a promo trailer for a Taiwanese indie film titled Love Is a Gun, marking the feature directorial debut of Taiwanese actor Lee Hong-Chi (seen in Thanatos Drunk, Long Day's Journey Into Night, Tigertail). The film is premiering at the 2023 Venice Film Festival in a few weeks in the sidebar Critics' Week section (aka SIC) - they describe the film as "a dark, painful, fierce neo-noir, after Lee Chang-Dong, Diao Yinan, Wong Kar Wai." It follows a young man who is determined to start afresh after getting out of jail, but his turbulent past comes back to haunt him, including a gun of which he cannot get rid of. It's another crime thriller, but this trailer reveals a more colorful, vibrant side to it along with its switch between light & dark themes. The film also stars Lee Hong-chi, with Lin Ying Wei, Zheng Qing Yu, Lin Ke Ren, Lee Yu Yao, and Edison Song. This looks stunning, what a rapturous first trailer. Definitely got my attention, will see this in Venice. Keep an eye out. // Continue Reading ›
