Plot
In 1960 Hong Kong a restless young man breaks the hearts of those around him as he searches for his birth mother.
Sinekatalog’s take
Wong Kar-wai's second film is a moody Hong Kong tale of a restless playboy and the women he hurts. Leslie Cheung is magnetic, and it first showed the lush style of Doyle's camera.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
