Turn Left, Turn Right

An aspiring violinist and a professional translator live parallel lives and appear to be perfect for each other, but somehow fate seems to keep them apart. Living in different units of the same apartment building, they never meet, because when they leave, one turns left, and one turns right.

Directed by Johnnie To, Wai Ka-Fai, Turn Left, Turn Right leans on a strong ensemble — Takeshi Kaneshiro, Gigi Leung Wing-Kei, Edmund Chen — 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 2003.
