The English language debut of acclaimed Hong Kong director Wong Kai-Wai (Chunking Express, Fallen Angels, In the Mood for Love... you don't need me to tell you this, do you?) takes the audience on a dramatic journey from heartbreak to a new beginning.

Also starring Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman and David Straithairn with music by the legendary Ry Cooder.
