Hong Kong director Edmond Pang (BEYOND OUR KEN, MEN SUDDENLY IN BLACK) fashions a dreamy, Wong Kar-Wai-like mood piece with his unconventional love story ISABELLA. Set in the urban milieu of Macau just prior to the Chinese handover, the film centers around a corrupt cop (Chapman To) who is shocked to discover that the beautiful young woman (Isabella Leong) he picked up at a bar may be his long-lost daughter. While minimal in narrative, ISABELLA virtually drips atmosphere with stunning, stylistic cinematography and a swooningly romantic soundtrack that adds to the film's twin auras of loss and reconciliation.

Throw in Peter Kam's melancholy, Portuguese-influenced music involving piano and guitar and you get a wonderfully lyrical atmosphere for this modest but emotionally satisfying character piece.

A melancholy look at a hybrid culture on the verge of major change.
