Night Scene

This film supposedly has a linear plot of a son finding out his dad is gay and his own exploration of dating a hustler, but it seems more like a Chinese versions of Wiktor Grodecki's Body Without Soul or Not Angels But Angels. The film views much like a series of interviews and documentary footage of the hustler's with the supposed narrative just being a brief interlude in the middle of the film.

I have to say I was a little disappointed in this movie not just because the synopsis did not seem to follow through, but the quality of the overall film in terms of entertainment or educational value was poor. The subtitle translations were practically non-existent and one could clearly see that they were not capturing the tone or meaning of the dialogue.

While I am a big supporter of new work, I would hope that even a new work has a minimum of production standards in place to ensure that it is of a quality worth a viewer's time. Night Scene has not lived up to that standard.
