This film doesn't hold a candle to WKW's other films, but it is similar enough to be a decent film. Casting Norah Jones was a bad move, and Jude Law is not exactly on my list of English-speaking actors I'd like to see Wong Kar Wai work with. The music is pretty good, in particular the Cat Power song. I must say though, while I love Otis Redding, dude had more than one song, you know? I realize WKW is using these songs as musical cues, but he uses them so often in the first third of the film that it's like some sort of crazy drinking game.

As long as you know what you are getting into beforehand, you'll like this movie. The cover actually does it justice, because it explains that the movie is about Norah, her travels, and her dealings with Portman and Weisz - and how it all wraps up together in the end. The film seemed like an experiment to me, with so many slow motion "contemplative" shots taking place, and the major test of putting a first-time actor in a starring role. You know what? Norah Jones pulls it off easily. She plays the "plain Jane" part very well in her understated performance. I also really liked the surprise appearance and music by Chan Marshall - Cat Power. It fit the movie so well. I said just know what you're getting into - the movie is a mish-mash drama/love story/road trip film. Consider this experiment successful.
