Review
This is another movie by Hong Kong auteur director Kar Wai Wong that I struggled with. The cinematography in this critically acclaimed movie was stylish and inventively framed, but I found the editing was too choppy. I liked the hidden off-screen characters – who were, according to the synopsis, having extramarital activities – but found the story itself to be confusing and didn't match this. Like Chungking Express, it was beautiful and felt spiritual – with a theme of eventually losing relationships to the passing of time – but lacked a coherent story that I didn't find engaging.
