Technical: col 103m

Synopsis:
Two Hong Kong policemen moon over their inamoratas, one of them a femme fatale figure from the criminal underworld, the other a late-night café waitress.
Review:
Watch this stylist piece as an exercise in personal cinema and indisputably accomplished night shooting, by all means. But you may find your patience tested by the stop-start structure, the lack of a narrative, and the insistent, Godardian use of the song, California Dreaming.
