ARE YOU IN CHIME WITH YOUR INNER WORLD? YOU'D BETTER BE...
Re-cycle is a relatively new tour de force by Pang brothers and probably one of their last movies made in Hong Kong. After Re-cycle Oxide Pang shot Diary - a curious little psychological thriller and then both he and his brother Danny moved to Hollywood. Hope they'll succeed there because after all these years of making really nice movies it'll be a shame if they blow their chance there. <

>To tell the truth Re-cycle is a film like no other I've seen. I wouldn't be able to find a similar one neither in Asian cinema nor in Western cinema. Maybe if you need some resembling I'd recall What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams and The Cell with Jennifer Lopez although the second one stands pretty far. You won't find a single similar film in the Pangs' filmography. Neither their "Bangkok trilogy" nor their "The Eye trilogy" nor Ab-normal Beauty, nor The Tesseract are close to what they invented here. They invented, some people invested, and finally we got a real piece of art, an outstanding film, a picture which you ought to see even if you're not a big fan of Hong Kong cinema and of Pang brothers in particular. It's like Citizen Kane or The Matrix - you've got to see it to... just to see it. In no way I'm comparing Re-cycle to the above-mentioned two, it's just that this movie is something very rare nowdays, a movie made with sheer devotion, bright imagination and limitless fantasy. It's really like no other. You may not like the story-line or CGI (they're great though) or acting, but anyway if you want to see something fresh - try this one. <

>It's useless to retell the story, I'd just say a few words that pretty much say it all - a young writer (played by beautiful Angelica Lee from Koma and The Eye) finds herself in her imaginary world. What at first looks like a world of dreams or illusions then turns out a world of all things rejected, refused and negated - from thoughts to people. Certainly Lee's character has some mission to accomplish in this world, and I have to say this place is full of peril and is not so easy to leave. <

>Two-disc Hong Kong edition has great booklets with some art design where you're shown what you (along with Angelica Lee's character) are going to encounter in the world of Re-cycle (believe me even the sketches impress a lot, not mentioning the movie itself). Here are some places' names, and the rest is up to your imagination untill you see the film: Playground of the Damned, Forest of Hang, Toy Ruin, City of Books, Ghost's Bridge, Embryo Tunnel... I say you may not like Re-cycle after all, but you'll definately appraise its ingenuity. By the way I'll be much surprised if it's not in a remake list of all major Hollywood studios. And just as a remark - Re-cycle became a real hit in Asia and was very warmly received at Cannes film festival.
