“California Dreamin'” by the Mamas and the Papas. You will fall in love with that song (if you haven’t already) after watching this movie. Two stories, entangling into one; both about Hong Kong policemen falling in love with mysterious women. It was recommended by my friend after I said I loved Frances Ha. I don’t know whether you can call this as offbeat romance.. but to me it was, and it’s well worth the watch.
"The film is so talky, repetitious, visually stuttery, and slackly paced that sitting through it once is like seeing it twice."
— James Wolcott
"A quicksilver magical mystery tour through the lives of a bunch of young downtown loners."
— Derek Elley
Two melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal server at a late-night restaurant.
