Story of wasted youth and dissipated effort. To make some sense of the movies, you have to assume that the hero, in not knowing his birth mother and... brought up by an adopting and loving friend of the mother, exhibited personality problems as a result. The movie does not show this but unless you make this assumption then the movie makes no sense, but makes a little sense with the assumption. Full Review

Its themes of passion, heartbreak and the inexorable passage of time are eternal.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

As he (Wong Kar-wai) floods the screen with beauty and fills the soundtrack with hypnotic rhythms, he forges a filmmaking style of incomparable eroticism.Full Review
