Our take

Hong Kong, 1962. Brushed hands and stolen glances trigger earthquakes of yearning along the crimson corridors of Wong Kar Wai’s swooning, melancholy masterpiece of suspended love. With a soundtrack by Shigeru Umebayashi to die for, one of cinema’s greatest romances returns in a dazzling restoration.
