Soundless Wind Chime is a mesmerizing film about the love affair between a Swiss vagabond who is living on the streets of Hong Kong and a Chinese transplant from the countryside who's working as a delivery boy for a restaurant and living with his prostitute auntie. As the story progresses it also regresses and soon you're not completely certain which parts are real and which parts are dreams. Well acted, well filmed, well paced. I enjoyed it, but is did not satisfy me. I feel that I ought to watch it again, knowing what I know of it in order to discover more of what remains a mystery.
