Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wong Kar-Wai started this without a finished script—hence the abrupt ending when funding collapsed mid-shoot.
This bombed in 1990 Hong Kong but retroactively became the first chapter of Wong's unofficial 1960s trilogy, establishing the visual language that would define 1990s world cinema.
