Arguably the world’s most popular Mandarin-language recording artist, Jay Chou has successfully forayed into acting through roles in Initial D and Curse of the Golden Flower. With his directorial debut film SECRET, Chou establishes himself as a gifted performer and a skillful auteur, directing a script based on his own original story. Not bad for a Taiwanese pop superstar.
Chou plays Lun, a music student at a secondary school who one day meets Yu while she is playing an evocative tune on the piano. “What’s the melody you played the first day we met?” asks Lun, “That’s my secret,” Yu whispers back. What evolves is an innocent and seemingly typical young romance between the two talented pianists. But the real intrigue of the film begins when Lun discovers an old photograph of Yu with his father (Anthony Wong) which triggers him to investigate the mystery of Yu and the secret melody she plays. SECRET is a fun for-all-ages sort of film with a surprise twist you’ll enjoy taking your girlfriend, parents or teenage kids to.
