Four shorts make up Heroes in Love; three by first-time directors and a fourth using images from the previous three pieces. Bearing a Chinese title translating as “Revolution of Love”, the production’s an impressive showcase of work from well-known names in the Hong Kong entertainment circuit. The four short stories begins with “Kidnap.” The moody piece sees a tomboy take a girl hostage in a cramped apartment; an event from which a relationship builds. An overly dark finish, sporadic electronic score and a mix of visual presentations keep the production atmospheric and on edge “My Beloved” is directed and written by pop idols Nicholas Tse and Stephen Fung. The “beloved” is a gun, not a person – a cynical gun maniac buys a new pistol to replace the old one he has lost. But his new “love” turns out to be a grumbling partner, which drives him to do “the big times”. The directors boldly project the protagonist’s love onto an object, a scathing satire on the apathy of the modern society. “Oh G!” is the love story of a sharp-witted girl and a bland boy. Designer Wing Shya directs the third story Kidnap which depicts how a tomboy reveals her heart to her dream girl with a most outrageous plan. The Jan Lamb-directed “TBC” is the final segment and concludes the film. This very brief piece applies a voiced-over relationship tale set to scenes taken from the preceding films. The story of a man finding himself alone after a relationship is presented with footage that best corresponds to the narrative
