Movie Haiku:The British government is about to leave Hong Kong after 200 years & Chinese government officials are waiting in the wings. A group of inter-related characters count down the days. Some are trapped; others can flee, but choose not to. Best moment: when Gong Li apes Marlene Dietrich singing BLACK MARKET.
