MAD DETECTIVE Official UK Theatrical Trailer (Masters of Cinema)

Description

This year's largest grossing Hong Kong film -- the smash-hit MAD DETECTIVE -- is one of the freshest and most satisfying visits to the cinema in a decade. The traditional Hong Kong police film is turned on its head: the imaginative twist being our hero -- Detective Bun (a role created for Lau Ching Wan) -- who has the ability to 'see' people's inner personalities or "hidden ghosts". Breaking new ground and establishing new cinematic rules, Johnnie To's latest giddily entertaining collaboration with Wai Ka Fai radically raises the level of storytelling in modern film. This ingenious realisation of a supernaturally gifted copper is fast-paced and furious, yet also complex and disturbingly funny. Nominated for the Golden Lion at Venice and multiple prizewinner at the Asian Film Awards 2008, MAD DETECTIVE has been simultaneously thrilling multiplexes and cerebrally challenging arthouses across the world. Detective Bun (Lau Ching Wan) was recognised as a talented criminal profiler until he sliced off his right ear to offer as a gift at his chief's farewell party. Branded as 'mad' and discharged from the force, he has lived in seclusion with his beloved wife May (Kelly Lin) ever since. Strangely, Bun has the ability to 'see' a person's inner personality, their subconscious desires, emotions, and mental state. When a missing police gun is linked to several heists and murders, hotshot Inspector Ho (Andy On) calls on the valuable skills of his former mentor Bun to help unlock the killer's identity. However, Bun's unorthodox methods point to a fellow detective and take a schizophrenic turn for the worse... See the original MAD DETECTIVE in cinemas now before Hollywood screw up the remake!
