THE EMPTY HANDS | 空手道, 2017

The Empty Hands ★★★

The main problem with Chapman To’s THE EMPTY HANDS isn’t that it’s a bad movie, it’s that it should’ve been a short film. Better yet, it should’ve been a short story. Written words allow for a greater tonal and emotional elasticity, one undercut by the requirement of visual images in movies. THE EMPTY HANDS is nothing if not elastic: it’s not funny, but there are moments of humor; it’s not sad, but there’s a prevailing melancholy beneath it; it’s not an action movie, but there are a handful of gruesomely graphic fight scenes; it’s not a psychological study, but it careful interrogates its characters’ emotional interiors. It veers wildly between introspective naturalism and hyper-stylized carnage on a whim, leaving one with a prevailing sense of whiplash. The film’s schizophrenia is only salvageable only thanks to To’s confident direction and an excellent lead performance from Stephy Tang.
