The verdict

Audiences rate it 7.3 out of 10 on TMDB across 607 votes — a solid score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category IIB · 95 minutes.

What it is about

Yuddy, a Hong Kong playboy known for breaking girls' hearts, tries to find solace and truth after discovering the woman who raised him isn't his mother.

What to expect

Wong Kar-wai’s 1990 feature returns in a 35mm print, screening twice next week at a single Hong Kong cinema. The Cantonese soundtrack carries English subtitles, and the IIB certificate puts it in adult-mood territory without shutting out older teens. Tickets start at HK$198 — standard for a revival slot, but with only one district and two sessions, availability is tight. The movie itself runs a lean 95 minutes: Leslie Cheung plays Yuddy, a playboy whose refusal to be pinned down bruises a salesgirl (Maggie Cheung), a cop (Andy Lau), and a party girl (Carina Lau). The rhythms are humid and unhurried, built around phone booths, rain, and a famous opening that lingers.
