Maggie Cheung’s Birthday Double Feature!

Wong Kar Wai’s breakthrough sophomore feature represents the first full flowering of his swooning signature style. This ravishing existential reverie is a dreamlike drift through the Hong Kong of the 1960s in which a band of wayward twenty-somethings—including a disaffected playboy (Leslie Cheung), a lovelorn woman (Maggie Cheung) hopelessly enamored with him, and a policeman (Andy Lau) caught in the middle of their turbulent relationship—pull together and push apart in a cycle of frustrated desire. – Janus Films

“There are images in Days that can make your heart stop for no other reason than that they’re perfect.” – Ty Burr, Boston Globe

“Arguably this is the key movie in Wong’s oeuvre, as startling in its context as Hiroshima Mon Amour and Breathless were in theirs.” – J. Hoberman, Village Voice
