tugbasayin This movie is beautiful. But since I didn't know the exact story(I don't like to read plots) I kept waiting till the and for the policeman 223. Because I liked his story more. It was so sad that I wish it was not left half finished. And again since I didn't know the plot I taught Faye was the blonde haired girl. Which was my mistake. I watched the whole movie saying "How come those girls are same? They might look similar but she is such a high spirited now, besides how dangerous and a bad woman she was at first." Ugh! I think this happened because I wasn't used to Wong Kar Wai's movie style. So should watch again, knowing that this is a very different movie this time.

harrylin-812-205550 Lyrical, impressionistic, startling, and resonant. I have been in love (I still am), I have been lonely and wanting a way out, I have felt lost in the big city, and I have been struck dumb by moments of coincidence, whimsy, and happenstance ... this movie captures all those feelings perfectly - wrapped around a subtext of China's reclamation of Hong Kong and all the anxieties and uncertainties that brought. The emotional pitch of the film is astounding. And the humor and smile-inducing moments are truly original. Absolutely lovely.

Art Vandelay Taking an incoherent story and bathing it in an orange glow isn't art. I bet if I worked the phones right now I could find someone who has better-looking video of Hong Kong shot off their iPhone.That twerp is a cop like I'm Baretta. Am I supposed to be entertained watching him eat every five minutes?The woman in the wig and sunglasses? Are we supposed to care about her or what she's up to?If this is what passed for a good movie at Cannes in the 90s then the 90s should be packaged into a rocket and shot into space. Book extra seats for the Cannes judges.Just dreadful.

g-squaquara Another true masterpiece from the grand master. Great and ever-present soundtrack, superb directing and photography, dynamic style and peerless visual impact. A "living" movie about love and loneliness in a chaotic world. An overwhelming flow of emotions. Exhilarating. Wong kar wai is my most personal director his films always take me to my childhood to that sad,lonely,lost feelings because I had a childhood like we can think those kar wai characters had too. genuinely likable and strange characters explore their own little world in the city. it tells two loosely connected and captivating stories. the cinematography does a wonderful job at showing the interesting-ness (beauty isn't the right word) in overused public spaces, dim hallways, and run- down apartments. i only wanted to movie to keep going so i could experience more of this world and the people within.
