Wong Kar-Wai working the same nerve twice

Both built around forbidden love

Both circle secret love and marriage crisis

The same preoccupation in both: secret love
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Both land stillness and romance at once

Drama built on tenderness, twice over

Romance with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both trade on romance more than on being drama

Tender romance in both cases

Both keep circling back to newspaper

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Both trade on romance more than on being romance
In the mood for more contemplative?
