No film in years has better recaptured the giddy spontaneity of the early French New Wave than this elegant comedy about love and loss in Hong Kong. Two stories: in the first, a Chinese woman in a blonde wig comes out on the wrong end of a drug deal, with potentially fatal consequences; meanwhile, a broken-hearted policeman vows to fall in love with the first woman he meets, which happens to be the Chinese woman in the blonde wig. In the second, a server at a fast-food stand secretly moves in with an admired customer, moving furniture and leaving other clues in the hope that he’ll notice. Director Wong Kar-wai more than fulfills the promise of his stunning debut, Days of Being Wild.
