Romancing in Thin Air Blu-ray
'Romancing in Thin Air' Director: Johnnie To (2012) Radiance Limited Edition Blu-ray | HD transfer | Region A+B | Cantonese w/ English subtitles
After being publicly dumped at the altar by his bride-to-be, a heartbroken actor is found barely responsive in a mountain forest by a widowed fan who runs the local guesthouse. As she slowly nurses him back to health and the pair learn more about their shared pasts, they embark on a journey to find catharsis in each other.
While best known for his crime and action films, legendary director Johnnie To (Election, Exiled) also directed over a dozen romantic melodramas, and Romancing in Thin Air is one of the very best in its genre: a powerful and moving meditation on loss, grief, and the power of cinema itself.
