Occasionally
diverting coming-of-age drama from Sylvia Chang. While sometimes
affecting, the film is ultimately disjointed and inconclusive. |

Review
by Kozo: |
Painfully slow coming-of-age story about a teenage girl (Cherie
Chan) and three consecutive summers during her youth that
set in motion the inner workings of her soul, or something
like that. Three Summers comes with some high expectations,
as it was produced and written by Sylvia Chang, and features
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Veronica Yip and Wu Chien-Lien. Unfortunately,
the film itself doesn't cohere into anything more than a well-meaning,
but unnecessary drama. Leung and Yip turn in charismatic yet
empty performances, and there are some moments which echo
the pain and insecurity of growing up. At the same time, the
film detours into questionably relevant darkness and subplots
which seem almost tangential. On the whole, Three Summers
can be a mild diversion, but those seeking more (as I did)
will likely be unimpressed. (Kozo 1996) |
