Claustrophobia - 親密



Claustrophobia (親密) is a 2009 film out of Hong Kong. The movie stars Karena Lam and Ekin Cheng. Andy Hui plays a supporting role.

The movie is about Karena Lam as Pearl during a 1 year period. It follows Pearl's work life and her relationship with her co-workers. The movie actually starts in the present and goes backward episodically for 1 year from the opening story arc.

The movie is very slow and I was ultimately disappointed because the backward look didn't provide a resolution. Maybe it was on purpose to not provide closure.

I actually enjoyed the "behind the scenes"/"making of" segments better.
