Fate, as they say, is a bitch. In Soi Cheang’s expertly woven, atmospherically dense, giallo-esque thriller, several characters find themselves in a maze of mirrors and smoke. A fortune teller, a prostitute, a serial killer, and a delivery boy—all of them nameless—are brought together by chance, only to lose sight of each other again in the lights of Hong Kong. Mad Fate, a companion piece to Cheang’s masterful breakthrough Accident, is as deep and multilayered as it is outrageous—always in motion and as unpredictable as life itself. (mk)
