Three years in the making, Johnnie To's latest film is his most personal yet. A tribute to both Hong Kong and to great filmmakers including Jacques Demy,
Sparrow sees To continue to carve his unique path through film.
The 'sparrows' of Hong Kong are the audacious pickpockets who relieve innocent bystanders of their wallets without the slightest hint and To captures their skills with poetic brilliance.
The film, which premiered at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival, stars Simon Yam and the gorgeous Kelly Lin and features a seductive soundtrack by French duo Xavier Jamaux and Fred Avril.
