Chinese director Wong Kar Wai's second feature united him with cinematographer Christopher Doyle with whom he established his signature style that made him one of the poets of modern cinema. Set in the 60's carefree Hong Kong, several men and women drift through life where they experience love and heartbreak. One of them is a merciless playboy who seduces and discards women because he was abandoned by his mother and brought up by a prostitute. Dazzling cinematography and haunting score enhance the performances of an all star cast that includes Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, Carina Lau and Rebecca Pan amongst others. 1001 Films's coverage of films on DVD.
