About This DVD
I Come with the Rain is a 2009 neo-noir psychological thriller written and
directed by Vietnamese-born French director Tran Anh Hung, starring American
actor Josh Hartnett.
After making three movies about Vietnam (The Scent of Green Papaya, Cyclo, The
Vertical Ray of the Sun), Tran Anh Hung intended to make a baroque action film,
a passionate thriller, both intense and poetic, haunted by three characters from
the mythology of film and the Western world: the serial killer, the private
investigator, and the Christ figure.
The music is written by Academy Award Winner Gustavo Santaolalla and the English
alternative rock band Radiohead. The action takes place in Los Angeles, Mindanao
(Philippines) and Hong Kong and allows the meeting of Western and Asian actors.
Two years after killing Hasford a serial murderer in the line of duty, Kline now
works as a private detective, but he is still haunted by the ghosts of his past.
A powerful pharmaceutical conglomerate boss hires Kline to find his only son
Shitao who has mysteriously disappeared in the Philippines where he had been
helping in an orphanage. Kline follows the trail left by the ethereal Shitao to
the jungles of Mindanao, and then to the urban jungle of Hong Kong, where he
enlists the help of Meng Zi, an old police officer friend. The search leads
Kline to cross paths with local organized crime syndicate boss Su Dongpo, who is
making trouble for the underworld, triggered by an overriding passion for his
drug-addicted girlfriend Lili.
Caught in the crossfire between the Hong Kong police and Su Dongpo's mafia drug
ring which is also hunting for Shitao, Kline found himself alone, in this
unknown city, when Meng Zi is victim of an assassination attempt and
hospitalised. Leaving behind his 5-stars hotel for a shabby murder scene
apartment in order to get inside the mind of Shitao, Kline gradually loses
himself in the terrifying memories of Hasford, whose speciality was dissecting
his victims' limbs while they were still alive, then reassembling them into
installation sculptures.
After a few weeks immersed in his haunted memories, torn between good and evil,
Kline is about to leave Hong Kong when he finds Shitao, who has become a
mysterious vagrant with healing powers
