Synopsis

Stephen Griscz, the protagonist of The Wisdom of Crocodiles, is a handsome but enigmatic man of many talents. He is also an incurable womanizer, always searching for the perfect woman. But all his relationships end in tragedy, which arouses the suspicions of police officer Healey. One day, Stephen meets Anne, an engineer who is also a very strong woman and definitely much better than all the others. Anne is intrigued by Stephen's strange airs. But soon it becomes clear that only one of them will survive the relationship. Po Chih Leong, who launched his film career as an editor with the BBC and went on to become a television producer in Hong Kong, made his directorial debut in 1976 and has since directed over a dozen features in English and Chinese before this British production. The Wisdom of Crocodiles was screened at the Montreal World Film Festival 1999. ~ G�n�l D�nmez-Colin, All Movie Guide

Immortality: AMG Review
Buzz McClain , AMG

Handsome, monied, educated, and with a bright future in the medical profession, Steven Griscz (Jude Law) would seem to be the perfect suitor. But he has a disturbing secret: He's a serial killer who slays his girlfriends only after they have fallen in love with him. It has something to do with his rare blood disease, which we can only hope is extremely rare. Director Po-Chih Leong creates and sustains a singularly eerie tone in this non-traditional vampire saga that recalls the sickening psychological ploy of Michael Powell's horror classic Peeping Tom. Law's clever, tortured, very glib modern-day vampire is a refreshing contrast to the typical portrayal of bloodsuckers, but even better is Elina Lowensohn's unexpected reaction when she discovers her new paramour's condition. This is not an action movie, which is another refreshing aspect; it is verbally oriented, with Law turning on the charm not just to lure women into his life but to keep them there, as it is essential to his fevered mind that they must love him before their blood can save him. That said, the bloodlust of the finale is not for the squeamish, but the quiet chills and horrific thrills of the majority of the film will appeal to those looking for something quite different in their horror: the real thing. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
