The latest thriller from action master Johnnie To (Drug War, Exiled, Election, Office) takes place almost entirely in a hospital, where a neurosurgeon (Vicki Zhao) must treat a gangster with a bullet lodged in his head (Wallace Chung). The hospitalized criminal may have incriminating information on the ruthless cop (Louis Koo) who brought him in. The tension builds to a climax in a single-take, operatic gunfight of the kind only To can create. “Three is a master class in how movies can be as unique and infinite as the people who make them” (Dave Ehrlich, Indiewire). (Dir.: Johnnie To, Hong Kong, 2016, 98 min., DCP, Cantonese with English subtitles)

Part of the series Twenty-Second Annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival
