Fallen Angels

adhd me finally locked in and finished fallen angels this whole film is just people craving connection and never getting it… like ever. everyone’s emotionally unavailable in the most casual, everyday way. it’s actually insane is this even romance gng? wong kar-wai goes fully pathological about love here. this isn’t love, it’s just proximity with zero connection everyone’s just missing each other… not dramatically, just slightly off timing every single time. tuff characters, nothing is perfect, everything feels absurd but also way too real and the camera bro what even is that placement. it rejects every rule of filmmaking but somehow fits perfectly with the characters. messy but intentional, like their thoughts leaking out also why do they talk like internal memos. the whole film feels like reading drafts they never sent every frame felt like art. the colorist absolutely cooked, those neon drenched visuals go crazy it really doesn’t fail to capture city life the way i see it. people finding the right person and still never getting them need 10L coffee before i watch another wong kar-wai film
