Irreversi - Mei Melançon (2010) - The Cairnhill, Tsuen Wan

It's getting increasingly difficult to get hold of copies of some films but thankfully I have managed to procure a copy of Irreversi. Apparently shot in 2006 (but released in 2010) it was made back-to-back with a Chinese version (called Hui Lu) that is the same story reshot with a full Chinese cast. The story revolves around a woman (Mei Melançon) whose brother has recently been killed in a parachuting 'accident' and is swept off her feet by her brother's business partner (Ian Bohen) who has just sold their company and made a fortune. However, things don't quite appear to be as they seem. I haven't seen the Chinese version but am assuming it uses the same locations as this English one? If you know any different then feel free to let me know. Despite the film's age, its website is still around: http://www.irreversi.com/

One of the first proper locations to appear in the film is the couple's pre-wealth condominium apartment which was filmed at a development called "The Cairnhill". It's located at the southern end of Route Twisk and is seperated into two main sections. You can see the link road between the two in the lower screencap.
