663, it’s a counter girl (Faye Wang) who secretly cleans his apartment while listening to endless replays of the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’.”īy now you can surely tell if this Wong’s for you or an acquired taste best left to the cultists. 223, it’s a drug smuggler in a blond wig (Brigitte Lin) who falls asleep in his bed while he stares at whatever movies are playing on the tube. 663 (Tony Leung Chin-Wai), are dumped by their girlfriends and make fetishes of the things their ladies leave behind. It’s the Q man’s fixation with Jean-Luc Godard’s new wave visual riffs, not blood and guts, that drew him to this haunting, hallucinatory romance. Don’t get the wrong idea – meaning nonstop action – just because this feature from Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai is being released in America under Quentin Tarantino’s stewardship.
