Highlights:
- That the director Wong kar wai places special importance on stle of making is evident with this film too. It has a lot of unconventional sequences and the way the film's screenplay meanders too is not something one gets to see often.
- The narratives of both the cops are gripping - The first one's stress on jogging to cut back tears and the second one's monologu with kerchiefs and towels on tears etc. are touchy!
- The myriad of colours that the film shows is noteworthy and its uber-confident heroines - the white drug peddling lady with coolers and the independent girl who loves loud-music are characters etched quite distinctively.
- Here again, the bits-and-pieces background score is captivating.
- On the negative side, the film is a bit too unconventional that a feeling of incompleteness is quite unavoidable.
Love stories that distinctly differ from the usual!
