Director's Notes

IRREVERSI is a thriller that puts the theme of regret into an ultramodern context in the fast pace city of Hong Kong. Interestingly, the suffering that comes with regret and guilt is something that I always wanted to explore. And here we put it in the context in somebody that has "made it" - from a poor upbringing to absolute, financial freedom. The main character is like the Shakespearean Hamlet, at the peak of power and money, but still fragile and broken, and ultimately his actions provide the ultimate punishment for his deeds. Also, I always wanted to do a movie in Hong Kong, a city I have called home for a while now, and it provides the perfect setting for this movie with its large ex-pat community. I also decided to do this movie in two versions, one in English, and one in Mandarin Chinese, with two separate sets of actors, and I enjoy the subtle but important differences between the two versions.
