Movie No. 48 (2013): MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS

My Blueberry Nights (2007)
Director: Wong Kar Wai
Cast: Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz, David Strathairn

Synopsis (from IMDB): A young woman takes a soul-searching journey across America to resolve her questions about love while encountering a series of offbeat characters along the way.

Okay. This is Wong Kar Wai's first film in English, with popular Hollywood actors and the Grammy Award-winning singer Norah Jones in the cast. It's not well received by critics. But the film is not that bad as critics would say it was. Maybe they made the review with reference to previous Wong Kar Wai's films like Chungking Express, In The Mood For Love, 2046 and Happy Together, which are all great films. In my opinion, My Blueberry Nights is still a decent film, although its screenplay is a sort of a let down compared to the films I have just mentioned. This film's photography is exquisite, reminiscent of In The Mood For Love.
