Kar Wai Wong's Fallen Angels... I've mentioned how much I like this man's work before, and his usual style is on show here - rich colors, lush eroticism, a focus on character rather than story - but somehow funnier than usual, especially Takeshi Kaneshiro's mute shop invader. And it seems like the casting always includes a girl to fall in love or lust with, in this case, Michelle Reis' character. And I have to find that soundtrack somewhere...
I found that this picture was more aesthetically pleasing than really good. The narrative isn't very interesting, nor are the characters. You'd better watch it when you're a teenager and still find killers "cool".
Good film, but the really great song in the film is Laurie Andersons "Speak My Language". That's what I'd call gorgeous.
Strong soundtrack all over though.

Wong Kar Wai's most underappreciated.Has anyone in the history of cinema ever looked as effortlessly cool as Michelle Reis does here?
