A person may like pineapple today, and something else tomorrow.

Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers) meets Brigitte Lin (Ashes of Time Redux) after a depressing month trying to get over his girlfriend. She has just lost a group of Indians smuggling drugs. He obsesses over her departure and misses on what is right before him. Things don't last forever. The use of frenetic camera shots and flashing lights make this segment a little hard to take, but still satisfying. You can't get caught up in the story because that is not what's important. It's the film itself that is the point. Just when you think something may happen, the story changes.In the second segment, Tony Leung Chiu Wai (Lust, Caution; Infernal Affairs) loses his girlfriend, too, but doesn't obsess, especially with Faye Wong (2046) available. But, he hardly notices her. She, on the other hand, spends time cleaning and rearranging his apartment without his knowledge.It is a film for film lovers. The medium is the message. Kar Wai Wong establishes himself as a true master of the art film.
