An odd little project. A Hong Kong director and Korean cast take along a Japanese composer to shoot a film in The Netherlands. It's an interesting setup that is never quite as fresh or original as it sounds on paper. Still, The Triangle is a lot better than Lau's attempt to conquer the US the next year, so that's at least something.
A criminal staying in The Netherlands is in love with a young paintress. He sends her flowers to show her his love, but he won't confront her directly, fearing his job might put her in danger. Then a detective comes along and the girl mistakingly assumes he's her worshipper. The criminal is furious and finally comes out of hiding to stop anything from happening between the two.
The setup of the romance is nice, though a little slick. I didn't really care for the crime elements that were added though. The performances aren't the greatest and the romantic triangle could've been stronger, but all in all, it is a quirky little project that should go down easy for fans of Lau's work.
