two hour ago i be watch this brilliant movie which overwhelm me with it imprison photography . it be quite understandable how it win the prize of best camera in cannes 2000. close ups predominate it . close ups of wall and human and of many other thing . the warm color lighting ( which be also usually by the director ) give the movie a warm atmosphere . only two person be principally to be see in most of it . an interesting music and especially three song or theme accompany the movie nearly all the time . each one of these theme represent a certain atmosphere during the whole movie . silence and slow movement characterize the movie . some scene be extended moment or a serious of close ups . not only tony leung deserve a prize for his superb act since maggie cheung be also so brilliant . i wonder how many dress she be wear in the different scene . the story be also connect somehow with the history of hong kong and the region the 1960s . this prevent me from understand some detail of the it especially at the end . in short i would recommend the fan of artistic movie to watch it in the cinema .
