I enjoyed the storyline, two lonely cops both connected by a Honk Kong snack bar- just brilliant. Although I have to say the second part of the film was a lot better than the firs... read more

It is a gorgeous movie with a very mesmerizing story. Tony Leung shows again he is one of the best actors at work right now. Wong Kar Wai is one of the most gifted directors nowadays and thanks to him, it is a real treat to watch this movie. There is not much of a story but it doesn't matter, the whole thing was just fascinating. It is my favorite movie directed by Wong Kar Wai and it is definitel... read more

Después de vista, no me explico la gran admiración de Quentin Tarantino por esta película. A no ser por un típico acribillamiento de callejón, es de reconocer, muy bien filmado.

Esta es la primera película más celebrada... read more

Description: Two stories, two lovelorn cops, two objects of desire: one a big-time heroin dealer in deep trouble with her boss after the cargo disappears, the other a seriously flaky take-out waitress who inadvertently gets hold of the keys to her admirer's apartment, all shot in a breathless kaleidoscope of color and hand-held camera work to crea ...

"29.11.2012, DVD Ensimmäinen WKW on takana ja osoittautui ehdottomasti mainioksi elokuvaksi. Jo pelkästään kuvaus ja musiikki on niin mainiota että niistä jo tulee omat lisäpisteensä. Hyvinkin suloinen elokuva, missä tunnelma on kohdallaan. Mä haluun Kaliforniaan."
