Days of Being Wild

In comparison with later Wong, namely In the Mood For Love and Happy Together it may seem somewhat lesser in comparison, but still retains an incredible poignancy and sense of yearning. All of the characters in this film are reaching out desperately for something they can't touch and as the film draws to its conclusion we understand they'll never have it. Hauntingly beautiful precursor to later masterworks. 4/5

Cinematography by Christopher Doyle. "Desire" list. Leslie Cheung: so much wounded beauty, that would became clear in "Happy Together", but more romanticized here. So, so much memorable opacified sadness.

An exploration of how luck and chance affect life; and the most poignant part is that the characters do not realize it. The film is perfect in its technique and exploration of the mood; however it is indeed very dour. That could be a problem, but it's also the right choice when you're in the mood for melancholy. I loved the performances, but the characters feel a little distant, a fact that, in the end, is a flaw.

this one was interesting, and by the end so full of sorrow, it was almost painful to view. the love, emotion and the obsession with the passing moment which dominates a relationship are all key components to this piece. and the style begins to move away from the scorsese-lite of 'Tears Gone by' to a much more godard and kieslowski inflected cinema. the acting here is so pitch perfect too. maggie cheung is pehnomenal.

Stylistically this movie was fun to watch but it left me empty. I don't think there was supposed to be much to the lead character. Interesting to see Maggie Cheung. I thought she was great In the Mood for Love and 2046. She appears to play the same character, judging by the recurring name. Trying to figure out what the last scene with Tony Leung was supposed to signify.

Pertama: 'Feelings can creep up just like that'. Kedua: 'Tanggal kadaluarsa'. Ini peringatan ketiga dari Wong Kar-wai tentang cinta

It was wonderful, but it didn't grab me like "Chungking Express" or "Fallen Angels" or "In the Mood for Love". Still great though.

Christopher M. Jones

This is a really beautiful, accurate portrayal of people who just can't seem to get over each other. The quiet moments are what elevate it to greatness. Now if someone could just explain to me that last minute or so I'd be all set!
