Lee-Na Kwan

A disillusioned killer embarks on his last hit but first he has to overcome his affections for his cool, detached partner. Thinking it's dangerous and improper to become involved with a colleague he sets out to find a surrogate for his affections. Against the sordid and surreal urban nightscape of contemporary Hong Kong, he crosses path with a strange drifter looking for her mysterious ex-boyfriend and an amusing mute trying to get the world's attention in his own unconventional ways. Note: filed under "World of Wong Kar Wai" in Drama.

Two stories of heartbroken police officers trying to move on from ex-lovers. First story has Cop 223 (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and his intertwined fate with a mysterious woman in a blonde wig. Second story with Cop 663 (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) has his attention roused by a food stand employee Faye (Faye Wong). Anything goes in Wong's gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin'" into tokens of romantic longing.
