Makes List For 30 Most Romantic Films
Like so many great romances, Wong Kar-Wai's modern Hong Kong masterpiece is about the impossibility of a romance. It overflows with sensuality and passion, but the man and woman at its heart (Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung) never consummate their love. They're both married, and are drawn together only when they discover that their partners are having an affair with each other. Soundtracked by the aching cries of cellos in the night, drenched in super-saturated tones, this is the ultimate in desire and frustration.
Tony Leung whispers his most secret thoughts into a hole in the ruined temple of Angkor Wat.
