Crossings

“Inspired by an interracial murder in a New York City subway station during the mid-80’s, this unique merging of HK cinema and New York independent film is a worthy follow-up to director Evans Chan’s justly celebrated debut…Instead of following the wishes of her parents and flying to Toronto, Mo-yung (Anita Yuen) journeys instead to NYC, in hope of finding Benny (Simon Yam), a mysterious photographer who has attracted her. There, she meets Rubie, a sympathetic clinic worker who helps her to settle in the city… However, both women’s lives are destined to be shattered by the actions of Joey (Ted Brunetti), a dangerously violent and schizophrenic teacher, who has stopped taking his medication and is now stalking Rubie…” —John Charles, Video Watchdog
