This is, by far, the most skillfully blended movie I've seen, as far as photography, lighting, music, decor and costume goes. This is the ultimate sensory trip. Winner of Best Actor and the Gran Prix Technical awards in the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, watching this makes you ask "why don't they make more like this?" Set in 1960s Hong Kong the plot is basic, two couples and yadi yadi yah! But this isn't about why he's soandso and if she really loved him and whatever; it's about everytime that odd waltz song, or a Nat King Cole in espanol, is playing in the background while the camera pans slowly on a woman's curves. Shot claustrophobically in tight hallways, you can't help looking at it with wonder.
