Fallen Angels A.K.A. Duòluò tiānshǐ (1995)

A Chinese drama directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Leon Lai, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Karen Mok.
Four people rattle around Hong Kong. One man lives with his father and works at closed stores at night. The other man is an assassin. One woman shakes and may have some relationship with the assassin. The other woman likes rain and wants a relationship with the assassin.
I guess this is the Chinese version of Mike Leigh's British slice of life dramas. I like the camera-work more, but the plots less. There were so many good shots with dutch angles, reflections and blurs. The motorcycle through the tunnel was absolutely beautiful (image). If all you want is the video and don't care about any other aspect, I would recommend this. Not so much for any other reason. I rate it o.k.
