    break Maggie Cheung's heart again and i'll break your fucking ankles

  • Review by Filipe Furtado ★★★★★ 5

    "At one minute before 3pm on April the 16th, 1960, you're together with me. Because of you, I'll remember that one minute. From now on, we're friends for one minute. This is a fact, you can't deny. It's done"

    No wonder Wong's characters are so attached to the moment, they can at best long for a past or future.

  • Review by Lise ★★★★½ 46

    Having seen and loved 2046 and In the Mood for Love, I was excited about finally seeing the first of the trilogy. I expected it to be good, but not as good as the other two. Well, it turns out I was right, but just barely.

    Wong Kar-Wai is the master of loneliness and longing. No one does it better. It is not the easiest thing to film, this inner life, but he does it brilliantly. One of his ways is to show rain. He doesn't use rain in that typical way where the character is looking out the window at the bleakness of it all. He doesn't do it to set a tone or a mood. He does it…

  • Review by davidehrlich ★★★½

    “I used to think a minute could pass so quickly. But actually, it can take forever.”

    The Big Bang of the Wong Kar Wai Cinematic Universe (WKWCU), “Days of Being Wild” sketches so many of the elements that later became signatures. It starts with the people: Carina Lau’s Mimi/Lulu, Tony Leung’s Chow Mo-wan (introduced primping himself in the film’s ecstatically uncontextualized final shot like a glimpse of the future), and Maggie Cheung as Su Li-zhen, but a different Su Li-zhen than the one she’d play in “In the Mood for Love” a decade later (or maybe the same woman, snow-globed inside the Hong Kong of the early ’60s as the rest world spins forward without her). Most unvarnished and bittersweet…

  • Review by Sean Fennessey ★★★★½ 8

    The final 20 minutes remain breathtaking and disorienting. There are two forms of intoxication: total recognition and utter bewilderment. Wong is the only filmmaker who can create both sensations at the same time.

  • Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★

    Dead from the beginning.

  • Review by stevie ★★★½ 2

    The movie is called "Days of Being Wild" but all they do is just like stand in the rain and cry.

  • Review by SilentDawn ★★★★½ 6

    89

    Imprints of a pitiful and empty existence with no past, and no future. All that's available is the ticking perpetual bomb of 0 to 60 seconds. The time we are able to recognize, maybe even see and feel. But then it resets, and we lose sight of it, gone into the night.

  • Review by matt lynch ★★★★★ 5

    "We really didn't know each other that long."

    All buses stop here.

  • Review by esther ★★★½

    imagining the version of In The Mood For Love that follows Mimi instead and she just immediately fucks Tony Leung with no preamble

  • Review by Peaceful Stoner ★★★★★ 73

    “ I’ve heard there’s a kind of bird with no legs. All it can do is fly and fly. And when it gets tired it sleeps on the wind. This bird can only land once in its whole life.”

    Nothing describes better the series of beautiful films that Wong Kar-wai has made than this piece of poetic philosophy. When you, I or anybody experience the sheer magic of these works and then take a moment to understand what it has all been about, the result of a careful observance would be the enlightenment of the flightless bird.

    We are all flightless birds who go through the motions of life waiting all the while for the indescribable enigma of the elusive…

  • Review by Shane McAvoy ★★★★½

    Tony Leung showing up in the final two minutes is Wong’s Nick Fury post-credit scene.
