  • Description

Wong Kar-Wai's sublime comedy drama

Presented By Worthing Film Club
Wong Kar-Wai's movie about two love-struck cops is filmed in impressionistic splashes of motion and color. The first half deals with Cop 223, who has broken up with his girlfriend of five years. He purchases a tin of pineapples with an expiration date of May 1 each day for a month. By the end of that time, he feels that he will either be rejoined with his love or that it too will have expired forever. The second half shows Cop 663 dealing with his breakup with his flight attendant girlfriend. He talks to his apartment furnishings until he meets a new girl at a local lunch counter.

★★★★★ Ravishingly, seductively exudes the immediacy of everyday life Los Angeles Times
★★★★ Has more life, energy, humanity and sheer visual zing than most other shows you'll see in a month or so Chicago Tribune
★★★★ One of Wong's purest evocations of its excitement and heartbreak Slant
