    Reminds of "Chungking Express"...

    Pang Ho-cheung crafts some of the most exquisite shots of the year in this gorgeous film starring Isabella Leong and Chapman To. The story circles around the estranged relationship between a crooked-cop father and his wayward daughter, on the eve of the Portuguese handover of Macau to the Chinese. If you are a fan of the cinematography and style of "Chungking Express", I urge you to give this film a try. The performances are amazing. The music is lovely. This is glorious cinema for patient movie lovers.
