Johnnie To

Yes, his work is multifaceted and chameleonic, but coz of that i can’t see any consistencies. Still he does genre films, not art house, so how much of him is in the movies ? I dunno. It’s said he directs romcom’s for the money, and the gangster stuff for himself, but who does know ?

Difficult for me to judge, cuz I have seen not that much of his work. So far only: Running on Karma, Running out of Time, PTU, The Mission, The Enigmatic Case, Fulltime Killer.

And there is so much to see.



But for me there is a huge…hm… kinda humor in his work. We talked about the scene in Running out of time, when the fire comes close to the car (don´t wanna spoil here for others…) and something unexpected happens. That was IMO cool. On the other hand he is a action man. I like the way, he directs his stuff. But I have to see more - thanx for the recommondations…
