Wong Kar-Wai is a visual filmmaker. You don't say "I want to see this movie!" because of its story, you say it because you want to see Wai's visual style. First and foremost, this film looks EXCELLENT. The environments in the film look stellar. The martial arts in the film is choreographed well too. Thank heavens the film has such a good cinematographer (Philippe Le Sourd) behind the lens, because it would be a real shame to see the film's stunts in quick cuts.
