Well, after watching half of it over a month ago, and then having to wait while Netflix sent me an undamaged copy to replace it, and then not getting back to it for weeks, I finally finished watching this one. I'm a big Wong Kar-Wai fan from the few films of his that I have seen (Chungking Express, 2046, In the Mood for Love), and while this one was absolute eye candy from beginning to end, and had a few really eye popping scenes and a touch of pathos and romance here and there, this one just didn't do it for me. The style was laid on so thick that it interfered with getting close to any of the characters and left you with a hollow feeling after it was over, kind of like that old cliche about Chinese food, . . . you feel like you've eaten a full meal, but an hour later and you're hungry again.
