Hong Kong DVD

Dumplings (Hong Kong, Fruit Chan, photo: Christopher Doyle, 90 minutes full version):

Ex-actress Mrs. Li (Miriam Yeung) is married to a cheater husband (Tony Leung Ka-Fai)
and she worries about being too old and worn to be attractive to anyone. She visits the
chinese black magic and abortionist woman Mei (very charismatically played by Bai Ling.

Mrs. Li wants to rejuvenate and to achieve this she eats very special Dumplings (kött i
degknyten) made of dead aborted child foetuses, and initially she feels both younger
and sexier ... initially that is.

Artmovie director Fruit Chan surprises with a very exciting and disgusting drama horror,
and maybe even as good as the hailed episode "Going Home" from the Horror Anthology
"Three" by Peter Ho. But, this horror isn't too far away from the truth as it's known, or
not, that people from the ruling elite (as a certain president couple) are visiting exclusive
institutions for the very rich to get rejuvenation skin treatments with foetus stuff.
Plastic surgery and foetus skin, it's a sick world we live in.
