Movie: Turn Left Turn Right

Turn Left Turn Right is a HongKong movie. It is a romance and comedy. The director of the movie is Johnnie To Kei-Fung, Wai Ka-Fai. "Turn left turn right" is a movie about fate and the unpredictabel paths it takes. We get introduced to the lifes of the two main protagonists and they pretty soon already meet each other. Everything seems perfect, but after their rash seperation the two have nothing more than an unidentifiable phone number. It's here where the movie starts to get interesting.  despite some nice surprises and its cleverness, is nonetheless quite predictable. Of course, there has to be a Happy End and we never doubt that, but luckily the path until then is paved with good romance comedy stuff.

The characters are: 

• Takeshi Kaneshiro
• Gigi Leung
• Terri Kwan 
• Edmund Chen
• Lam Suet
• Shu Wei-Lum

John Liu (Takeshi Kaneshiro) is an excellent violinist. Unfortunately, his talent has yet to be discovered by someone. Liu is very popular with women because of his looks, but he is not only very shy, he also has a certain image of his ideal woman in his head.

Eve Choi (Gigi Leung) is a professional literature translator and has to translate the newest german horror-novel. Instead she so much more would like to translate polish love poems, but her boss doesn't give her the opportunity.

The life of John and Eve is empty and they are missing something. When one day they meet at a fountain by chance, they know what it is. Since their childhood, when John met Eve at a school trip, they were looking for each other. The two spend a nice day together, but a weather change forces them to depart in a hurry. They exchange phone numbers and go separate paths again. 

Unluckily, the rain smeared the phone numbers and the two don't even know the name of each other. Although there is a good chance to meet again in a city like Taipei, they don't come across each other by chance, another time. 

The two also don't know, that they are living in the exact same building and that they are only separated by a thin wall. It seems like destiny has a grudge against John and Eve, because every time John turns left, Eve turns right.
