台北一座老舊公寓,居住在裡頭的戀人們不約而同都收到署名給「Candy Rain」的無名包裹,發展出四段愛情奏鳴曲。相愛的人,有時不在一起反而比較快。愛的不夠的,在一起也不快樂。女同志作家AD Lin 根據真實生活改寫的故事,道出愛的多面體。林嘉欣少見的神化演出。
A multitude of styles shifting between delicate sensitivity and over-the-top comedy, the four stories in the film are connected by a packet addressed to somebody called Candy Rain. The four relationships depicted here work and fail to work for different reasons, and it goes to show there simply is no fool-proof formula for love. Sandrine Pinna nails the quirkiness of her OCD character, while Karena Lam displays her neurotic comic side.

Fleeing By Night is a lush period piece that follows the love triangle of three men against the backdrop of the Chinese opera. American-educated cellist Shaodong, albeit engaged to Ying'er, is attracted to the Peking opera star Lin Chung. Things get complicated when the wealthy Zilei also sets his eyes on Lin Chung. Set primarily in the late 1930s, the film effectively uses China's pre-revolution cultural contrasts to parallel its characters' own identity crises.

From the filmmaker of One Day. The view from the tram window inspired a poem. It was originally a video footage taken by the filmmaker on a tram in Tokyo. His poet good friend wrote him a poem after watching the footage and becomes this short image poetry.

《旅人》Lu Ren
(導演Dir:劉智聰LAU Chi Chung/香港Hong Kong/2002/彩色/5’45)
原打算去「天涯海角」做金城武,碰碰可有運氣遇上陳慧琳或是王敏德;誰知道換來的是一場沒有相擁沒有眼淚的友情角力。劉智聰把原來的超八影像數碼加工,令到一次原本已富趣味的旅行紀錄更個人化,也更具可觀性。
They went to the Edge of the World cause they wanted to be Takeshi Kaneshiro. Theythought there would meet Kelly Chen & Michael Wong. It becomes a power struggle between friends, without hugging and crying. LAU Chi Chung made use of the super 8 images and made this interesting personal documentary.
