Confidante

Boy thinks if you love someone, turning her into a friend and confidante is the only way of keeping her forever. Girl thinks that some men are not cut out to be husbands or friends and can only be sustained in an ambiguous relationship. Sunny and Rain are polar opposites of each other as their names suggest. Throughout their university years, the two have been trying to maintain their relationship under the flimsiest of pretences – enmity, alliance, friendship and anything in between – to prevent the inevitable. Having made the transition from university to work, grappling with their changing feelings and skirting a grey area between romance and friendship, will they prove right the famously quip of Oscar Wilde that between men and women there is no friendship possible?

Directed by Crosby Yip, Confidante leans on a strong ensemble — Renci Yeung, Cliff Yung Chi Fung, Aaron Chow — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2013.
