My Blueberry Nights


When (and if) this ever makes it to Australia, I am so looking forward to My Blueberry Nights - the first Wong Kar-Wei english-language feature starring Miss Natalie Portman.

See this review by AO Scott for the NY Times. Scott gets the appeal of Wong Kar-Wei. The luxurious, beautiful visuals and the creation of a mood - both of which completely overwhelm his plots (to the extent a plot exists at all - see ChungKing Express, Fallen Angels and 2046 for a few examples). The languid pacing. The total absence of reality.
