Remains Of A Woman (1993) ***

One of two films based on the notorious Patrick Wong case (the other being "Legal Innocence"). This film is better directed, more accurate and less exploitive. The acting is superb (especially Carrie Ng and Loletta Lee), the pacing is swift, and the murder sequence (presented as a flashback) is haunting. But the absence of sex and nudity might disappoint some fans - they might want to check the other, sleazier film. Box office: 3 million HK.
