This film is directed by Wong Kar-Wai. He is one of my favorite directors. He has excellent control of mood and tones in his films. This film is considered by most to be his masterpiece. I however have to differ. I am in the same state I am with Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers. I feel indifferent to it. It is too "subtle" for me to emotionally connect with the characters and the plot. I am very disappointed. I might rewatch it in the future.
Pros:
-Subtle
-Maggie Cheung is beautiful
-The music is pretty good
-Wong Kar-Wai's style seems pretty much intact except lack of narration
Cons:
-Too subtle
-The relationship seemed forced
-The disc's image quality annoyed me for some reason
Overall: A disappointing film that I feel I need to revisit in the future
