Product Description
Product Description
Hong Kong cinema superstars Tony Leung (Hero, Red Cliff) and Leslie Cheung (Knock Off) play a pair of lovers living out the waning days of their relationship as expatriates in Buenos Aires. Lusty tango bars, the salsa music of the La Boca sidewalks, and a hypnotic visit to the nearby Iguazu Falls give further dimension to the tensions growing between the two lovers. From Director Wong Kar-Wai (Chungking Express, My Blueberry Nights, Fallen Angels).
Review
Wong is the most exciting director to appear in international cinema since I've started making movies. Quentin Tarantino --Newsweek

Regardless of race, class, gender, culture, sexual orientation and even geography, this movie will serve as a love letter to anyone who has the misfortune of being truly, madly and deeply in love with the one person on earth who drives them nuts. Those of us fitting this description will find many confirmations (but no comfort) in Yiu-Fai and Po-Wing's story. I could totally relate to Yiu-Fai when he stated that Po-Wing's illness was actually the time when they were the happiest together. Moreover, the story paints a vivid portrait of long-term relationships as swaying perilously between states of codependence, complacency and claustrophobia.
If I had to decide on a letter grade, though, I would have to give the movie an, "A-" instead of an, "A" because I was hoping that Leslie Cheung would not be confined to the typical "doomed drama-queen" role. Ironically, the story explores individual, national and global identity when, throughout the cinema world, one is hard pressed to find performers who rival Tony Leung's depth and Leslie Cheung's range. Despite his hallmark androgyny, I personally believe that Cheung could play Rambo convincingly! The universal nature of the story was also threatened by its stereotypical depiction of gay life (not all gay relationships are violent and not all gay people are promiscuous). I think the film's core message could have been conveyed just as effectively without the use of hackneyed scenarios. Fortunately, the amazing soundtrack and the breathtaking cinematography more than made up for any flaws.

The cinematography in this film is beyond words. Individual images have the power to steal the story, and tell there own stories. Nearly every freeze-frame could become a poster.
The acting is so unbelievably contrived, that, along with the images, the film resonates with the power of poetry to move and affect.
There is no driving plot. Very little happens. There's enough to keep you abreast of what's happening. But what is really happening is contained in the layer upon layer of emotion that unfolds as the film progresses.
Every time I watch this film I feel I'm seeing it a-new.
I can't recommend it highly enough. Although I accept that for some it will be just a little too abstract. Yet for those who love there images as much as their acting and plot lines, prepare to meet a film that will probably stay with you forever - one way or another.
J'ai également beaucoup aimé le film meme si je l'ai trouvé un peu lent en comparaison a d'autres mais et je recommande la plupart des films de Won Kar Wai qui a une maniere trés intéressante et spéciale de filmer. Des portraits originaux, des lumières extraordinaires et surtout des histoires trés poétiques.
