Posts: 1 | Strangers, chance meetings, the savoured ennui of life. Characters in this film seek solace from simply sharing zones that others, like ghosts, have passed through before them.
The ordinariness of the noodle bar, the un-sensational late-tavern, even the lucid supermarket, are all assigned purposes that go far beyond their surface mundanity.
Through artful cinematography (Christopher Doyle) and the use of voluptuous colour, these very places are rendered stark yet wholesome, sharp yet blurred, and offer a distinct sense of elsewhereness despite exporting a very acute imagining of Kar-Wai’s Hong Kong. |
