The film gets under the skin of a very marginalized group: recent immigrants to Hong Kong from Mainland China. Belying the expectation that they will belong in a territory now returned to China's sovereignty, they find themselves lonely, frustrated, poor, and employable only in the most menial jobs, from elevator service staff to prostitution.
Love Will Tear Us Apart was directed by Nelson Yu Lik-wai.
Love Will Tear Us Apart runs for 1h 49min, and was released in 1999.
