Sep 8, 2020 · REVIEW: Sparrow (2008) drama, review. Kei (Simon Yam) leads a small band of Hong Kong-based pickpockets, while enjoying his off hours taking pictures of the city with a Rolleiflex camera. While taking photographs one afternoon, he captures the image of a woman (Kelly Lin) seemingly on the run – and this draws Kei and his entire team into trouble.
Sparrow simply screams Johnnie To from frame one until its excessive slow-motion pick-pocket finale, a noted homage to the French musical Umbrellas of Cherbourg that simultaneously dazzles and confounds. The sequence is a microcosm of the whole film; it's lovely and mesmerizing, but also alienating because it's style over discernible substance.
