Permanent Residence (2009)

Sometimes I think my reviews are too generous, but I cannot give this movie any less than it deserves. Perhaps, I just happen to be too open-minded that issues like nudity, which most people find scandalous, doesn't bother me at all.

The story is really good. It is very realistic. I see it happening even while watching the film. However, the actors could have done better. I'm not saying the acting was a total crap, but they failed to properly relay the emotions from the characters to the viewer... or, perhaps it was the camera man that didn't capture them... or, perhaps the director intentionally made things ambiguous to the audience... or, perhaps I was just not paying much attention--UGH! This is why I have to watch it again sometime.

Originally a strange Hong Kong film about a fulfilled, partially fulfilled or unfulfilled life. Deliberately (?) melted edge between love, friendship, relationship, sex, nice bodies, a bit of Asian nudity (you mean a huge bunch of hair with a little camp girl), passing the plot slowly and yet not losing its distinct depth, evoking a reality in me as if from a part of my life and the life of many others ... just according to me and my experience, even open-minded gays and straights can understand each other even in bed, and the subtitles, if they were two lines, sometimes flashed by so quickly that I couldn't finish reading. The film will remain in my soul for a long time

Originálně zvláštní hongkongský film o naplněném, částečně naplněném či nenaplněném žítí. Záměrně (?) roztavená hrana mezi láskou, přátelstvím, vztahem, sexem, hezká těla, trochu asijské nahoty (rozuměj obrovský houf chlupů s malým camprlíčkem), ubíhající dějově pomalu a přesto neztrácející svou výraznou hloubku, ve mě vyvolávající reálnost jakoby z části z mého života i života mnohých jiných ... jen dle mě a mých zkušeností si i gay a hetero otevřené mysli mohou rozumět i v posteli a titulky, pokud byly dvouřádkové, se tam někdy tak rychle mihly, že jsem nestačil dočíst. Film zůstane dlouho v mé duš
