4. Don’t overdo your scenes
A linear theme that manages to find itself in most Wong Kar-Wai movies is the reasonable existence of regret and loss. In this scene we observe Takeshi Kaneshiro’s character trying to get over his break-up and hitting it off with Brigitte Lin’s character. Shot in shades of yellow and red with a melancholic background score, the entire scene manages to illustrate love and loss fabulously without overdoing it.
