Due to delays in the MIFF schedule, we missed a few minutes of the start of this film, but it was easy enough to pick up from where we started.

Love In A Puff [Hong Kong]

‘Love in a Puff’ is a light romance / comedy about two people who meet during a cigarette break, and the story of their relationship growing with each encounter.

The film is broken down into two sections: the scenes with the main characters and their conversations, and the scenes where they are being interviewed on their relationships (both past and present). Fortunately, the two blended in well together, and helped elaborate on their thoughts throughout the movie.

There really isn’t too much to say about the film, it reminds me a lot of other romantic comedies, with the exception of the location and culture. The dialogue was interesting and felt really casual rather than trying to dwell into things to deeply. It was a simple film, and went about it’s way safely through to the end.

‘Love in a Puff’ is an enjoyable film, and for me, to see the lead actress again after her performance in the horror flick ‘Three Extremes… – Dumplings’ was great. I am sure that this film will likely get remade into a hollywood format one day.

Score: 3 out of 5
