Description: | NTSC/Region 0. Wong Kar Wai's classical As Tears Go by is now digitally remastered for fans to enjoy the film in it's best quality! a stylish triumph for genre fans and film fans alike, As Tears Go by more than lives up to it's billing as the first film from celebrated director Wong Kar Wai. Andy Lau is Ha Tau, a small time Triad leader whose responsibility for the pathological Fly (Jacky Cheung, in an award winning performance) threatens to be his downfall. While Ha Tau struggles with his troubles on the streets, he finds solace in a surprising intimacy to his cousin, Ah Ngor (the luminous Maggie Cheung). Their tender interludes give Ha Tau a welcome respite from his violent life, but not for long. Fly grows more and more self destructive, and soon Ha Tau can no longer avoid the brutal calling of the triad underworld. Mixing stylish MTV style filmmaking with potent triad melodrama, As Tears Go by is an exemplary genre film, and an intriguing beginning to Wong Kar-Wai's celebrated filmography. |
