Kowloon Generic Romance

  • Dir: Ikeda Chihiro

  • Japan, 2025, Japanese/Mandarin, 117mins, DCP

  • Cast: Yoshioka Riho, Mizukami Koshi

Not all stories about Kowloon Walled City have to be about crime, as proven by Mayuzuki Jun’s hit comic book series and Ikeda Chihiro’s film adaptation. In an alternate universe where the Kowloon Walled City still exists in the modern era, real estate agent Reiko has an office romance with her co-worker, Hajime. However, her world is turned upside down when she comes across an old photo of Hajime and someone who looks exactly like her. A fanciful tale about nostalgia that cleverly mixes romance with doses of mystery and science fiction, this unique take on one of Hong Kong’s quintessential landmarks proves that even when the old Hong Kong is long gone from our sights, it can live forever through the power of imagination.
