TIFF 2009 Viral Day 5: Soi Cheang’s Accident

Date:

After a stop at the 66th Venice International Film Festival, Soi Cheang stopped in Toronto for the international premiere to Accident. A film that came to the festival some a certain amount of clout, as one of the film’s producer is none other than Johnnie To, the picture sure looked good, but it came across as a film that embodies the mindset of it’s characters – it thinks it’s clever, but its only an illusionary facade as this was contrived and tone deaf. Here was some video of the pre-screening presentation.
