We enjoyed this film a couple of months ago, and looked forward very much to seeing it again. We were not dissapointed, on re-viewing it became all the better.
The same wonderful bright red and dark visuals, the moments where the camera breaks into the cubist jerks and reality leaves itself. The individual moments that tell us more than whole other films about the loneliness and attempts of contact in the fast city; the pineapple tins and the soft toys.
The second romance, found a smidge overlong and the female a little annoying on first viewing, gained smoothness and beauty now we knew its path. Leung is one of the most incredibly beautiful screen presences around, as he takes off his hat and comes to the counter, we could not help but burst into smiles.
Indeed, on second viewing the whole exercise seemed leaner and more focussed, passing in but a flash. Also more notable was the wonderful jangling guitar repeated riff, not a song jammed into a movie but an evocation of an atmosphere.
Still wonderful, a special film.
