“Well, let’s just say it takes place in the imagination, and French people seem to like it.”—Christopher Doyle

… and so do I. At first, I was convinced that it was merely a retread of Wong’s earlier films (what Wong film isn’t a retread of earlier Wong films?), but in fact the issues of nostalgia, temporality, Orientalism, and good old-fashioned love are even more complex here than they are in In the Mood for Love. And of course it’s totally gorgeous, well-acted, and even rather funny.
