Fallen Angels (1995) ****

This is the most gorgeous looking of all Wong Kar-Wai's films - and that's saying something. It's a veritable orgy of wide-angle photography and manic montage. It features an assortement of colorful characters, including a wandering hitman (Leon Lai), a mute ex-con (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and a bevy of bad-hair-day damsels in distress in sexy oufits.
