Screenwriter: Wong Kar Wai

Producer: William Chang

Part of Wong Kar Wai’s unofficial 1960s trilogy, this spellbinding film remains one of the most beautiful and poignant films of all time. From the subtle and heartbreaking performances of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung — who was the first Asian actor to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival for his work in this film — to the phenomenal period art direction and costuming, to the haunting cinematography of the masterful Christopher Doyle, this exquisite film is an unrequited love story that will burn itself into your psyche permanently.
