Screening in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, Ocean Flame is the second film from Mainland China filmmaker Liu Fendou, the director of Green Hat and screenwriter of Spring Subway and Shower. Based on a Wang Shuo novel, this sexually charged and ponderously violent arthouse hybrid is wholly different from most Hong Kong-set films as it's shot primarily in Mandarin, with a Mainland China main cast led by newcomer beauty Monica Mok and scenery-chewing actor Liao Fan.

A shameless blackmailer meets a stubborn waitress whose refuses to be controlled, thus setting into motion a tragic cycle that will ultimately define both of their lives. When Wong Yiu met Ni Chen, he thought she would bend to his every demand. What Wong Yiu failed to realize, however, was that Ni Chen was a fiery, independent spirit who always lived by her own set of rules. After losing their ways in life, they both lose themselves as well. When Wong Yiu begins to perceive that he has lost his freedom, something inside of him snaps. Eight years later, Wong Yiu has finished serving time for the murder of Ni Chen. After procuring a gun, he sets out in search of Ni Chen's mother and prepares to fulfill his own will.
