Diary (2006)

Starring: Charlene Choi
Director: Oxide Pang

Premise:
A woman stays in her apartment, writes in her diary, and makes dolls fter her boyfriend leaves her. Eventually she finds another man but keeps getting their relationship confused with the previous. Then she relies on her diary to reveal the truth.

My Take:
This is an engrossing movie that deals with mental illness and ends in horrific fashion. The fragmented editing of the story helps with the delusions of the main character. So does the dark atmosphere and excellent cinemaphotgraphy. One of the directors best films.

Rating: So Good
