What Bishonen Is About

A secret relationship starts between Jet, who sells himself to men, and Sam, a model policeman. Sam is not at ease with his own sexuality and wants to keep hiding it; Jet never learned how to hide anything. Yonfan’s film counts among the first in Hong Kong cinema to show a gay relationship without falling into stereotype. Daniel Wu made his screen debut in it, after Yonfan found him working as a model and spent months talking him into it. Shu Qi appears in one of her first serious roles. It chooses melodrama and carries that register to the end without apology.
