A gangster film so good it elevates the entire form. This has it all - operatic love story, balletic gun battles, saturated cinematography David Lynch would luxuriate within.
Tony Leung is so young here - but all the oceans of depth are present right from the beginning. A work of art that has so many layers - with every frame bursting with color or neon or beautiful imagery.
You can see how Wong Kar Wai learned from this mentor.
Amazing!!! A masterpiece!!! Movies!!!
