Johnnie To has managed to carve an independent career out of the densely saturated Hong Kong film industry. Along with frequent collaborator Wai Ka-Fai, they have established one of the industries most successful studios, Milkyway Image, a production company that has sustained a sense of artistic freedom even against the backdrop of the highly commercialised cinema that dominates the same market. His brand of noir-inspired crime films has penetrated even the international circuits, no easy task in the highly (even still) Anglocentric industry. “Blind Detective” sees To once again operating within the genre confines of the crime film, yet this time he brings a splash of comedy and romance to the mix, to create a more mainstream endeavour.

I have never seen one of Johnnie To's films so I'm hoping to make his new film, Blind Detective (Man Tam) the first as it will play as part of the Midnight selection at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and today a trailer for the film is available. The film stars Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs, House of Flying Daggers) as a cop forced into early retirement due to retinal damage. But after witnessing a bank robbery along with a female inspector - who believes he has acute senses - they team up in hope to solve the case. The idea immediately makes me think of Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi, though that's a character that's hardly his alone, adapted into a cop drama. I also seem to remember a film from the '80s or '90s focused on a blind man that went around protecting people. I'm not sure it...
