My Blueberry Nights (2007)

Posted on 13:26 by uthpa
Cautiously Recommended
Hong Kong/China/France
Feature Film

Director: Wong Kar Wai
Writers: Lawrence Block, Wong Kar Wai
Cinematographer: Darius Khondji
Composer: Ry Cooder
Cast: Norah Jones, Jude Law, David Strathairn, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman, Frankie Faison

The delightful scenes between Law’s Mancunian café owner and Jones’s heartbroken customer, in the first of three patchy episodes, in Wong’s beautifully photographed English language debut, just about make the other two parts – a maudlin, clumsy middle passage, and a fluffy, throw-away third section – palatable, but this is a long way (about 8000 miles) from the Hong Kong director’s best work.
