“The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart.”

    DEAD KNOT

    SEK KEI Hong Kong, 1969

    Desire is torture (literally) in Sek Kei’s astonishingly modern mood piece, a transgressive dissection of fraught queerness written by—and starring!—a young John Woo. Immersively filmed in throbbing 16mm, and soundtracked to yearning flamenco twangs, Dead Knot broods with tormented passion.
