A Moment of Romance Benny Chan Andy Lau Limited Edition Blu-ray Radiance

Classic Hong Kong cinema from Benny Chan with the help of Johnnie To and Ringo Lam!

Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray for A Moment of Romance, a romance-thriller directed by Benny Chan (Raging Fire, New Police Story). Small-time hood Wah Dee (Andy Lau, Infernal Affairs) is enlisted by Triad boss Trumpet (Tommy Wong, The Killer) as a getaway driver for a daring heist that goes wrong. Thinking fast Dee takes Jo Jo (Jacklyn Chien-Lien Wu, The Barefooted Kid) hostage to save his skin, but the bosses order her to be killed. They escape and begin a forbidden relationship while being chased by both sides of the law.

Produced by Johnnie To (Throwdown) and Ringo Lam (City on Fire) the film is sensationally directed by Benny Chan in his feature debut. With a breakneck pace and violence reminiscent of To and Takashi Miike and the beautiful and emotive sensibility of Wong Kar-wai, the film features stunning performances from Lau, and Wu in her debut work.
