A gem in Asian cinema

Two bittersweet love stories entangled in a beautiful cinematography, a cantonese version of "Dreams", and a simple salad bar that connects them... A beautiful masterpiece that nobody could ever remake for three reasons: no one will be able to recreate the very same visual aesthetics handcrafted by Wong Kar-wai and Christopher Doyle; no one will be able to replace Tony Leung's impeccable acting; and no one will be able to remake the airport scenes (Kai Tak Airport is closed in 1998).

Some people call this movie is a hidden gem, but I disagree - This movie has been already listed on many film critic's lists of best Asian films of all time. So, don't blink your eyes while watching the Express.
