1997 > Hong Kong > Directed by Wong Kar Wai
With Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Leslie Cheung
Wong Kar Wai deals with emotional entrapment in this film that won him the Best Director award at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. Taking as its subject two gay lovers from Hong Kong spending the last few months of British rule away from home -- in Buenos Aires, Argentina - the film is characteristic of the director, with visuals that grab hold and never let go, and a soundtrack -- a mixture of Astor Piazzola, Frank Zappa and the Turtles -- that is undoubtedly one of the most expressive in years. In Mandarin, Cantonese & Spanish. Subtitled. Cosponsored with the East Asia Program.
