From supreme visual stylist Wong Kar-wai comes this stunning, dream-like valentine to youth and hopeless love.

An emotionally cool, post-modern romantic comedy. "...an ideal introduction to his work...a vibrant commentary on young love today, packed with punch and personality" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader).
