Weird asf movie... But fuck did I love it... The fragmented narrative of the movie gives us a feeling that there isn't much progress to the story... And you would be right... The film solely focuses on the vibe over the plot. And it delivers brilliantly... The movie is aesthetically so rich... The film is set in a Neo - Noir Hong Kong and focuses on three central characters - a hitman, his agent and a mute guy who apparently went mute after eating expired pineapple... What had me hooked to this movie to begin with was the cinematography by Christopher Doyle... The way he has shot the neo - noir Hong Kong, his use of extreme wide angle lenses and distorted close up shots were in a way, new to me... Shots felt raw... With shaky camera movements and misaligned frames... Editors William Chang and Wong Min - lam elevated these cinematic shots to the next level... I especially enjoyed the use of step printing effects in the movie... This is the first ever movie I watched of Wong Kar - Wai and I am eager to explore more of his filmography. The use of the lines "I'm a lazy person... I like people to arrange things for me" in two different scenarios of the movie was such a brilliant move.
