Peter Chan
In an interview with the Malaysian newspaper "The Star", director Peter Chan stressed that ""Perhaps Love" is a love story, not a musical. It's not even being promoted as a musical. It's not a musical in the conventional sense. My characters don't break out into song. Initially, it was a challenge to balance the over-the-top element in musicals and the subtleties of a movie. In the end, the method I used to overcome that was to make a movie-within-a-movie." The interview appeared in the 25 November 2005 edition of "The Star", as Peter Chan was in Kuala Lumpur to promote his film.
