《醬園弄．懸案》：奇案迷局中的時代掙扎 ★★★★ (8/10)
本片根據民國四大奇案之一改編。
「奇」 喺八十年前，40年代上海嘅社會環境風氣底下，案件嘅發生的確係壓抑、荒誕、聞所未聞，所以奇；
「懸」當時每個人對呢份「奇」有著各自唔同的說法同解讀，真相如碎屍般難辨，所以懸。
陳可辛又一次將大時代碾壓下嘅人性拍得凌厲逼人：冷峻光影、框架構圖、眾生百態，無可挑剔。章子怡「毀容式」演出震撼全場，由染血旗袍到幽怨眼神，將詹周氏嘅掙扎與反抗演到骨子裡！配角神級陣容各具顛覆，王傳君、雷佳音、易烊千璽⋯⋯每人一角都捲入迷局。
「奇」與「懸」之外，更見時代之重，弄堂窄巷藏不住罪惡，法庭審判道不盡真相。詹周氏喺渾噩中劈出生路，喺亂世漩渦中浮游走動，靈活地為自己創造最佳的可能性，嗰份頑強先係最觸動我嘅力量。

The Murderer: Suspense: An Era's Struggle Within a Bizarre Case Labyrinth ★★★★ (8/10)
This film adapts one of the Four Bizarre Cases of the Republican Era.
"Bizarre (奇)" – Beneath the social climate of 1940s Shanghai eighty years ago, the very occurrence of this case was suffocating, absurd, and unimaginable – thus bizarre.
"Suspenseful (懸)" – With everyone offering conflicting interpretations of this "bizarre" event, the truth became as fragmented and elusive as the dismembered corpse – thus suspenseful.
"Suspenseful (懸)" – With everyone offering conflicting interpretations of this "bizarre" event, the truth became as fragmented and elusive as the dismembered corpse – thus suspenseful.
Peter Chan once again masterfully exposes humanity crushed beneath a turbulent era: the chilling cinematography, meticulous framing, and visceral tapestry of lives are flawless. Zhang Ziyi’s "disfiguring" performance electrifies the screen – from her blood-soaked cheongsam to her hollow, defiant gaze, she embodies Jam Chow-shi’s struggle and rebellion to the bone! The god-tier supporting cast (Wang Chuanjun, Lei Jiayin, Jackson Yee...) each delivers radically transformative roles, drowning in the enigma.
Beyond "bizarre" and "suspenseful," the film exposes the era’s crushing weight – crime festering in shadowed alleyways, trials obscuring truth. What moved me most was Jam Chow-shi’s ferocious resilience: hacking a path through chaos, swimming against the whirlpool of turmoil, dynamically carving possibilities where none existed.
