Love Will Tear Us Apart (1999)

Overview: The film gets under the skin of a very marginalized group: recent immigrants to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Belying the expectation that they will belong in a territory now returned to China's sovereignty, they find themselves lonely, frustrated, poor, and employable only in the most menial jobs, from elevator service staff to prostitution.

Starring: Tony Leung Ka-fai, Lü Liping, Wang Ning, Rolf Chow Chi-Sang
