Chinese writer and director Wong Kar Wai achieved world wide acclaim with this dazzling film about love and longing. Several characters paths cross in the same busy district in Hong Kong. Among them a woman dealing with drugs and immigrants, two lovelorn cops who spend most of their night shift in the same night spot and young woman working at the fast food joint falling in love with one of the cops. Featuring the signature style of Kar Wai, the film is a visual poem thanks to the camera of Chris Doyle full of kinetic energy and slow motion set to haunting music. The talented cast includes Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung, Faye Wong and Takeshi Kaneshiro amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
