Described as a “ravishing existential reverie”, Wong Kar-Wai‘s first collaboration with cinematographer Christopher Doyle is “a dreamlike drift through the Hong Kong of the 1960s in which a band of wayward twentysomethings – including a disaffected playboy (Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing) searching for his birth mother, a lovelorn woman (Maggie Cheung Man Yuk) hopelessly enamored with him, and a policeman (Andy Lau Tak Wah) caught in the middle of their turbulent relationship—pull together and push apart in a dance of frustrated desire.”
It’s back on screen in the Watershed’s The World of Wong Kar-Wai season.
