Guns
don't kill people, it is
people who kill people.
The runaway pistol, which
has a life of its own, traveled
from the underbelly of Mongkok
(Hong Kong) to seedy Shenzhen
(China) across the border.
It found its way into the
hands of a motley crowd
of characters, and transformed
the lives of a sex worker,
a small-time hood, a middle
class family, troubled teenagers,
a suicidal fisherman, illegal
immigrant and innocent and
not-so-innocent bystanders,
each with their own pain,
loss, regrets and dreamsK
The Runaway Pistol fashioned
a one-of-a-kind road movie.
It was a complex kaleidoscope
of images with subversive
and surreal intensity. It
was a cruel fairy tale about
a city on the verge of a
moral meltdown. |
