YesAsia Editorial Description

Gordon Lam and MIRROR member Lokman Yeung fight against a Mad Fate in the Hong Kong suspense thriller directed by Soi Cheang. Produced by Johnnie To and Yau Nai Hoi, the Milkyway Image production made its world premiere at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival and served as the opening film of the 47th Hong Kong International Film Festival. Also co-starring Berg Ng, Chan Charm Man and Ng Wing Size, Mad Fate injects fortune-telling and metaphysics into a psychological crime mystery. Mad Fate was named the Best Film of 2023 at the 30th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards. It also won Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Editing at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards.

On a rainy night, a prostitute is brutally murdered by a serial killer. Fortune teller Master (Gordon Lam), who wanted to help the victim escape death, looks upon the body in shock, having arrived a step too late. However, Siu Tung (Lokman Yeung), who is at the crime scene by chance for a food delivery, is inexplicably excited by the sight of blood. Master divines that Siu Tung, who has exhibited behavior since a young age, is destined to kill and end up in prison. Master desperately tries to help Siu Tung change his fate using metaphysics, but Siu Tung's murderous thoughts become more intense as a veteran cop (Berg Ng) closes in.

Editor's Pick of "Mad Fate (2023) (DVD) (Taiwan Version)"

Method to the madness
Soi Cheang has been on a run in recent years with 2021's Limbo and 2023’s Mad Fate winning major awards, and this year’s Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In winning the box office. The Hong Kong director has cycled through various genre specialties over the years, but atmospheric crime action is where he does his best work.

Mad Fate premiered last year at the Berlin Film Festival and won Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Editing at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Though the uncanny thriller has received less attention than Twilight of the Warriors or even Limbo, Mad Fate has the distinction of bearing the increasingly rare Milkyway Image signature. Johnnie To is one of the film's producers, and familiar names like Yau Nai Hoi and Au Kin Yee worked on the story and script.

Partially inspired by a serial killing case that occurred in Hong Kong in 1982, Mad Fate follows a fortune-telling Master (Gordon Lam) who comes upon a gruesome murder scene in a seedy building. Also at the crime scene by accident is Siu Tung (Lokman Yeung) who is greatly excited by the sight of blood and death. The creepy young man has nothing to do with the murder, but he's already on the radar of a veteran cop (Berg Ng) due to his past crimes and psychopathic behavior. Master sees that Siu Tung is destined to kill, and both want to thwart what's to come. Master frantically tries to challenge fate and change Siu Tung with a combination of geomancy, divination and tough love. Meanwhile, the serial killer (Chan Charm Man) continues to take victims and the cop continues to provoke Siu Tung – both triggering Siu Tung's desire to kill.

Mad Fate and Limbo are both grisly serial murder mysteries starring Gordon Lam as a tortured and grizzled man trying to stop a killer, but under Soi Cheang's direction, the two films are also very different beasts. Limbo's trash-filled cityscape creates a harrowing cinematic world in B&W. Mad Fate fills the screen with crimson rage and cryptic visions that turn on a dime with the manic actions and thoughts of its obsessive characters who all exhibit varying degrees of madness.

Mad Fate's pursuit of a serial killer is juxtaposed with the possible making of another killer. It is the latter conflict that drives the film's wild twists and desperate energy, as Master devises geomantic setups and tussles with inner demons in his quest to save Siu Tung. Gordon Lam is wonderful as always as the agitated fortune teller who spirals through and into madness, but the surprising revelation is Lokman Yeung. Better known as the leader of mega boy band MIRROR, Yeung gives an impressively unsettling performance as a disturbed young man on the edge.

Mad Fate takes the serial killer mystery storyline to intriguing and unpredictable places with its feng shui divination, psychological horror and differently unhinged characters. The strangely madcap tone is truly befitting of a Milkyway production.
