I haven't been sleeping for the past week so I've been watching movies in the middle of the night. I'm not sure why I'm not sleeping... I keep on having lucid dreams about things that I try to avoid thinking about: making money, losing weight, people forgetting about me, etc. Anyways, the flim that I watched last night is set in Hong Kong during the 1960's. Lovely textiles and patterns cover every surface and are elegantly paired with the actors' spare and simple dialouge. There are so many intimate moments within each shot. It reminded me of Mad Men in China; cigarettes, booze, fabulous dresses, red lipstick, husbands cheating on their wives, wives cheating on their husbands.
