The Spanish Professor got us to watch this film, and we have to see it all over before we return it, Lai Yiu-Fai. The heat here is really stifling despite the rain, and we have crushes on all three of Wong Kar-wai’s characters in this film. Here is a clip from another Wong Kar-wai movie. … More Dársenas quietas
