  Right Now, Wrong Then 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Feb 2019

  It's very stripped of all the bells and whistles of modern cinema. It's not showy, it doesn't try to be... a film. It shows the human condition as it is, in an honest and humble way. And that yields a certain beauty and a feeling of appreciation in the glamorless and mundane, that you just don't get with other films.

  Just when you thought there would be plot holes, they're all quickly filled up and then you realize the plot holes are actually your eye holes and that the movie is filling your eye holes with utter disturbance and churning thoughts.

  Fallen Angels 1995

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Nov 2018

  Set entirely during one neon-lit night in Hong Kong, this film feels like an experimental departure from Wong Kar Wai's own acclaimed 'In the Mood For Love' in terms of... Literally everything except the mirror shots! The characters are fully formed and their arc very interesting. They're presented in Revenant-style deformed wide angle close ups, so intimacy is in parallel with what's happening around them. It seems to also give the feeling that the characters are vulnerable preys, always on the lookout for danger and adventure. If you love Wong Kar Wai, and want something different from Wong Kar Wai, watch this!
