The Hand (III) (2004)
10/10
Another piece of Art from one of the greatest
8 January 2023
I really can't believe I'm the first (and only) reviewing this movie...

Anyway... it's another Kar-Wai Wong interesting movie about love, shot entirely in putonghua (Standard Mandarin) despite being located in Hong Kong, that appeared as a segment in an Anthology film called Eros, 2004 (which had a very modest success at the box office...).

For those who aren't familiar with Kar-Wai Wong works, he is the Author of 'In the Mood for Love, 2000', one of the greatest (one of the most beautiful...) Asian movies ever. And (among other titles...) of Chungking Express, which could easily became your favourite movie (or at least one of them...), should you ever decide to watch it.

The present title is a short film (about 50 minutes) and a comparison with the above mentioned masterpieces wouldn't be appropriate.

It's a catching (and somehow surprising) movie that shows how love can get hold of our hearts, fill our lives and determine our fate.

Enjoy.
