The Cruel Kind
1989, Chinese. Directed by Yu Wai Cheng.
Shen Chiahg is an erotic photographer haunted by the ghostly apparition of a girl murdered in an adjoining apartment. He lives in a swirling nightmare of perverse sex and Daliesque images. He no longer knows the differences between reality and fantasy. In fact, Shen doesn't even know if he's dreaming or if he's awake.
