Dani G @RT81139271 Sep 12, 2025 Many traits of the Wong Kar-Wai filmography can be clearly seen here See more Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Feb 27, 2025 WKW's 2nd feature film. His signature style of directing began to take shape. An all-star cast. This supposedly was the 1st installment of the "In the Mood for Love" trilogy. See more S. C @RT35273155 Dec 12, 2023 An impressively artistic drama flick with contrasting and interesting characters. The cinematography is stunning and the performances spot on. The music is fantastic, melting in with the story and visuals as if it was the original score. Edited and shot with greatest care throughout. The film's aesthetics are pushed to the max with its locations and shadowed sets as well as the costumes, the filters and the beautifully patient cinematography capturing frames that are often mesmerizing. Compelling and overlapping storylines add additional authenticity to the movie and bring it even more to life. Ending with a mysterious yet essentially very soothing scene that brings the movie to peace. See more Rich S @RPS1963 Nov 20, 2023 Do Hong Kong girls like bad boys? Maybe if that bad boy is Leslie Cheung, they do. See more Kevin L @Lakeman Sep 28, 2023 The look of the film says so much- darkened; dreary; little light let in, but so much slow burn simmering here. Nice work by Andy and Carina Lau in the Tide and Leung roles. So different than the other two main characters. But it's Maggie and Leslie Cheung in the lead roles of Su and Luddy who truly carry the best of the movie. Sweetness, caution, desire, worry, and betrayal are all conveyed so well by the performances, but it all starts with fine writing. The writing is from the skillful hands of director Wong Kar-Wai and Jeffrey Lau. The pining, disconnection, and emotional isolation are practically palpable. Such very human figures move through these almost vignette segments. Great early work by Wong Kar-Wai, with elements we would see later in the gorgeous "In the Mood For Love". And credit of course to cinematographer Christopher Doyle for giving us so much of the tone and visual expression of these cinematic figures, be they sad, lovelorn, ineffectual, distant but cool about it. 3.7 stars See more Luca D @JoeCamel7 Jul 19, 2023 Not sure where the filming locations actually are in his films but they are so dream-like. Once again he creates small stories about people's lives each branching from another's, creating a small group of individuals who are very relatable and understandable. The way everyone interacts is so emotional. It's hard to convey the feeling of letting someone go forever, but the actors and actresses do it so well. A truly heartbreaking film. Similar to In the Mood For Love, but on a much higher level. Would definitely watch again. See more Read all reviews
