This movie is divided into two interconnected stories dealing with human relationships, love and hate in modern Hong Kong. The first half features Takeshi Kaneshiro as a young witty policeman dumped by his girlfriend who crosses the path of drug smuggler Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia double-crossed by her boss. In the second half, super canto-pop star Faye Wong falls in love with cop Tony Leung Chiu Wai and sneaks into his flat to feel closer to him. This Wong Kar Wai's masterpiece was shot in three weeks!
