Needing You...

Kinki works at a computer firm; she is scattered, loud, and her love life keeps going wrong. Wah is her superior in the same place: orderly, sarcastic and closed to everyone. The two do not get on at all to begin with. Office gossip, the forced closeness of working the same job, and getting drawn against their will into each other's private lives eventually close the distance between them. The film was co-directed by Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai. Until then To was known for dark crime films; this was where his team crossed over into romantic comedy, and it was one of the biggest earners of the year in Hong Kong. The source is a radio play, and Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng had performed the same story on radio first. The pair's fit on screen carries the film, and it brought a run of further films.
