Touch
Emotionally gripping thriller made by a very talented filmmaker that knows exactly how to approach the genre.
Touch
Fei Fei, a married western woman, meets Bai Yu, a blind Chinese masseur. When they come together in an intense love affair, they find the demons they’ve created implode in a class of violent impulses. Besides being a revealing insight into the pressures of daily life and societal norms in upwardly mobile modern China, Szczepanowska’s feature directorial debut crosses genres from romantic drama to psychological thriller.
“an unusual, intense film that is easy to recommend for those keen to hear fresh cinematic voices…” Eddie Harrison, Film Authority
“a unique, carefully crafted film that blends exotic locale, forbidden romance and thriller, Touch is an accomplished feature” Loren King
“…with its hypnotic, romantic visuals – the director counts Wong Kar-wai among her influences – the movie carries us along. Helping, too, are the skilled performances, particularly that of Szczepanowska, whose icy elegance can’t quite conceal the fire underneath.” Stephen Witty, Film Racket
