Two melancholy Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal server at a late-night restaurant he frequents.
A masterpiece of urban melancholy stories of love forlorn, wonderfully photographed and masterfully directedwith style reminiscent of Jean-Luc Godard.
Halliwell**: "A mood of nostalgia-tinged melancholy pervades this enjoyable movie of young, urban workers caught in a web of disappointment and desire, but still hopelessly optimstic."
Maltin**1/2: "Light, funny, and offbeat, though the second tale goes on far too long. Quentin Taratino's Rolling Thunder company acquired this for U.S. release, and many critics applauded its postmodern approach and stylistics."
