Trivia:
The character He Zhiwu, who is mute but able to communicate with the audience through narration, tells us he became mute after eating a tin of pineapple with a past expiration date. A character in the earlier 'Wong Kar-wai' film, _Chong qing sen lin (1994)_, is obsessed with the expiration dates on tins of pineapple. In addition, they are both named He Zhiwu (though the character in _Chong qing sen lin (1994)_ is a cop, and the character in this film is a former criminal) and both are played by the actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. more
Quotes:
He Zhiwu: They say that love can change a man. I start to find myself looking better and more charming, and suddenly I discover that I'm turning blonde. more

caleidoscopic and near hallucination, 12 July 2002
10/10
Author: Lukaku Jones from Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Almost manga-like in camera style and story telling (I mean manga as in Akira and Ghost in The Shell). Very colorfull yet dark, explicit yet tender, soft and violent. Your sucked in by the nostrils, visually shaken about and taken for a very exciting trip into hyper-subreality. The daylight at the end has the same effect as the dishcleaning and lights on after a very good party. Very sobering. The movie leaves you with the feeling of having had a vigorous massage and wanting more. More Wong Kar-Wai.
