Fallen Angels (aka Duoluo tianshi)

Released 1995
Stars Leon Lai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Charlie Young, Michele Reis, Karen Mok, Toru Saito, Chen Wanlei
Directed by Wong Kar-Wai

Slickly made but emotionally uninvolving (and practically narrative-free) portrait of cultural alienation, which like its predecessor, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, focuses on two sets of characters: an assassin and the beautiful colleague who desires him; and a mute ex-con and the woman he covets. Dazzling cinematography, camera angles, and editing aside, this is mostly meandering and confusing--and as emotionally distant as the characters it portrays.
