The Air I Breathe (2007)

 
 
A drama based on an ancient Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones: happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love: A businessman bets his life on a horse race; a gangster sees the future; a pop star falls prey to a crime boss; a doctor must save the love of his life.
 
Meticulously crafted complex entanglement of 4 stories, quite violent - and pretentious.
 
Maltin*1/2: "...mess of a movie. Starts out promising, ..., then degenerates into a cartoonish train wreck. Pounding music score, jerky editing, and pretentious narration are no help."
