Confession of Pain
The heart is a lonely hunter...
Directed by Andrew Lau Wai-Keung, Alan Mak Siu-Fai
Produced by Sil-Metropole Organisation, Basic Pictures
A dark, melancholic crime thriller centered on a detective's emotional and moral deterioration as he investigates a brutal murder amid urban decay and lost hope.
In a city of love and prosperity, a city of lost hope and premature death, veteran detective Hei feels it all: the hurt, the helplessness, the horror. When his father-in-law, the billionaire benefactor Kim, is gruesomely murdered in his palatial mansion, he enlists the assistance of his former partner turned private detective.
