Mahjong - 1996 - Taiwan

Mahjong - 1996 - 7/10
AKA - Ma Jiang  // 麻将

 
His string of kindergarten schools made money hand over fist.
And yet, he was indebted to criminals.  Who decide to kidnap his errant son.
The son leads a crime crew, two con men, a third who gigolos rich women.
A young Parisian arrives, looking for a wayward love, and the crew decide to turn her into a prostitute.
Complicated, confusing plot, at the core greed, avarice, obsession with profit.
Taipei is a pitiless background in often funny, often sad film.
