Film description
Yuddy, an overly confident ladies' man with a mockery in his eyes, starts his relation with Lai-chun with a riddle. How does he know her name? And her dreams? Why does he seduce the woman only to immediately disappear from her life? The man's relationship with his eccentric mother, who drowns her melancholy in a sea of shady gigolos, is also filled with many questions. The protagonists, floating in the gray-green light enveloping the Hong Kong of the 1960s, come together in the moments of passion, and then drift away into the inevitable loneliness.
This is the first film Wong Kar Wai made with the legendary cinematographer, Christopher Doyle. The artist experiments with narration, deceiving and seducing the viewer with the grace equal to his protagonist's, played by the legendary Leslie Cheung.
