After more than two years since this blog posted news about Strawberry Cliff, the film (finally) made its world premiere at the 15th Pusan International Film Festival on October 8, 2010.
Program Note
Kate has a special talent. She can foresee exactly when others are going to die just by looking at their faces. One day, she meets a young man named Jason and informs him of his time of death and that he will be able to tell her about life after death. Jason promises he will send messages to her from beyond-if that is even possible, of course. At the time of his predicted death, Jason is mysteriously killed. Kate then receives a call from someone who claims to be Jason and a flight ticket to Hong Kong, where she discovers the painful truth about love, life, and death.
Director Chris Chow was born in China and raised in Hong Kong and learned filmmaking in the United States. As if to reflect his own cross-border experiences, Chow mixed Eastern and Western ideas together to unravel the mysterious story involving prediction and death in an intriguing, yet serious, way.
