I’ve never been to Hong Kong but this films gives me a sense of nostalgia. Beautiful movie with intriguing dialogue that makes u think
A beautiful dream come to life that makes you an observer in the lives of two couples. The music and murky imagery give it a unique feel
Dreamy, a painted frame, with the gorgeous brush of Wong kar wai. Music, cinematography, emotions and characters are all beyond amazing
It's full of wonderful takes with a beautiful composition. The stories could have been better though.
Just a really great love story in two parts. Easily a new favorite when it comes to romantic movies. Beautiful, smart and thought provoking
AMAZING MOVIE,KINDA HK VERSION OF AMELIE
Very poetic and romantic movie, saw it in 2023 and it still works. Beautiful visuals, and good acting. Liked it a lot
A few overly 90s stylistic choices don't detract from this beautiful, dreamy set of romances separated by centimeters.
Kar-Wai creates cinema magic--might be his best. Fascinating to watch, even without subtitles. Need to see & hear 4-5 times. Visual poetry.
It's the peak of the art of cinema. Formed by the hands and brains of a genius, with the help of perfect actors and heavenly music. ♡
