Love in the Time of Twilight

Love in the Time of Twilight (Chinese: 花月佳期; pinyin: huā yuè jiā qí), also known as 電線桿有鬼[2] (literally "The Lamppost Is Haunted"), is a 1995 Hong Kong fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Tsui Hark.

[1] Reviewer Joey O'Bryan of the Austin Chronicle gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Needless to say, despite Hark's colorful direction, some nifty effects work, and the enthusiastic performances given by the two leads, Love in the Time of Twilight won't please everyone; it's simply too oddball and silly a mixture, but it is packed with lots of unpredictability and charm, and should serve as a nice diversion for Hong Kong film buffs.

"[3] In his book Planet Hong Kong: Popular Cinema and the Art of Entertainment, author David Bordwell wrote, "Love in the Time of Twilight showcased Nicky Wu and Charlie Young, two pop singers who had been successful in Tsui's costume romance The Lovers (1994).

"[4] Reviewer Andrew Saroch of fareastfilms.com gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing, "Thankfully Charlie Yeung is wonderful as Yan – charming and totally engrossing – while Nicky Wu is a perfect foil as the more serious Kong; these two superb performers help the viewer to forgive the early problems.

"[6] Reviwer Kozo of lovehkfilm.com called the film a "Dizzyingly paced romantic fantasy from Tsui Hark that features a truly bizarre series of plot devices and a sometimes confusing narrative.

"[8] The review of the film on sogoodreviews.com reads, "Tsui throws buckets of weirdness at us including fairly extensive but rough use of CG [...], situation comedy, situation comedy involving lots of projectile vomit, Eric Kot being annoying like only Eric Kot can, frankly creepy after life-esque imagery, time travel and an insanely funny or maybe serious comment on the development of technology during this era.
