Spirits lurk everywhere in Ann (
Boat People) Hui’s horror-comedy,
Visible Secret. Instantly infatuated by enigmatic amnesiac June (Shu Qi,
Millennium Mambo) who has the ability to see spirits, Peter is swept into a world where he has one foot in the past, one in the present, and somehow has to figure out which is which. Beautifully shot by legendary cinematographer Arthur Wong (
The 36th Chamber of Shaolin,
Iron Monkey),
Visible Secret is a slick and sexy horror-comedy that reflects the region’s contemporary millennium-era moment in its vivid depiction of young people stranded in history, trying to get a handle on both the world around them and each other as they navigate life, love, identity and family.
