First off – if you leave this film without the song “California Dreamin’” stuck in your head for a week, then you are a much stronger person than me and I’m more than a little jealous. Second off, this Wong Kar-wai tone poem shows slips of life full of his typical yearning. Two romantic-ish stories spiral around each other, choppy naturalistic storytelling that inspired filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Sofia Coppola. Luxuriate in the incredibly specific and stylish frames created by a master of his craft. – Cat McCarrey
