Sweaty, rainy, greeny story of missed chances of love and restless hope for the future as we go back to 1960's HK. Man who makes women fall for him, but he himself can't fall for them - just wants to find his birth mom -, a shop girl who also works at a stadium befriends a cop - and he falls for her; an escort trying to escape herself while trying to not fall for her boyfriend's (dude looking for mom) best friend. Burst of violence on a roof in Philippines is Doyle's steadicam masterpiece.

The early formula of what would become great cinematic romance from WKW. A melancholy displayed on each sleeve of it's hopeless romantics that yearn for existential purpose.

Very strong visual language courtesy of Doyle, but storywise tacks on a bit too many things in the end for my end.

Has a lot of WKW's trademark tent poles, but not quite fleshed our to what they would become. A really solid first part that kind of loses itself about halfway through.

More matter-of-fact, less melancholy introduction to the motifs and themes that have dominated Wong's career: loneliness, chance encounters and missed opportunities, nostalgia and regret, the inevitable passing of time. If it's less formally daring than Wong's later work, it's scarcely less assured. In its own way, it functions as a Rosetta Stone for everything to follow: almost all of Wong's subsequent films are a response to or a riff on this.

Yuddy: "I used to think there was a kind of bird that, once born, would keep flying until death. The fact is that the bird hasn't gone anywhere. It was dead from the beginning."

Surprised that his first collaboration with Doyle employs a much duller color palette compared to his debut, but I think it works with the themes here. Again, quite a handful of great shots but this one almost feels too ambitious this early in his career.

Gorgeous visuals, storytelling, sound. I was pretty uncomfortable with the main character's extreme misogyny though.
