The solid supporting cast struggle to bring the story home in the face of all this grey face paint and wayward spotlights, but the overall journey is rewarding never-the-less.

An affair of timeless tragedy plots its own surreal demise.

Verdict: Love, honour, guns, and action-filled sunny days make for a refreshing freewheeling farce.

You don’t need to have read the book to enjoy this ‘post-pre-post-modern’ journey into the tribulations of filmmaking and life’s eternal mysteries.

Verdict: Although the film overplays the historical significane of the 'Werewolf' terrorists, and the ending is a poorly-handled hash, the jarring-yet-hypnotic journey which it takes you on is well worth the trip into its tunnel with no end in sight.

Verdict: The editing maybe choppy, the film-stock slightly sloppy, and the comedy occasionally floppy, but there are some lingering moments of delight in this celebration of down-to-earth gourmet respites.

Verdict: See the film world cut into bits - then sung a little bit better again.

Set in the familiar care-worn '60s Hong Kong of [i]In the Mood for Love[/i], this sequel-of-sorts extends the theme of unrequited love - and doesn't really take it anywhere new. In fact, it runs into a disappointing dead end.

Bergman performs an admirable balancing act between his childhood dedication to a God-guided world and his emerging beliefs in a one-strike-and-you're-out reality.
