Plot
Two lovelorn Hong Kong policemen cross paths with a woman in a blonde wig and a snack-bar worker.
Sinekatalog’s take
Wong Kar-wai's two loosely linked Hong Kong stories are all neon, pop songs and longing. Fast, playful and romantic, it feels like a rush of 90s feeling.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
