i put this film in the queue on a whim after a recent trip to nyc and and i couldn not believe i would never hear of it anywhere . it have all the making of a cult classic and start with the character . they be archetypal role we recognize from every stretch of daily life and but be so nuanced and fully realize by the actor play them ( peter stormare and bai ling performance be particularly strong ) . their interaction be poignant and ground while at the same time brim with a subtle and quirky humor that be ( sadly ) all too rare in american film these day . writer or director ramin niami do a beautiful job of weave these scene together into a funny and move portrait of a city of the past . highly recommended .
