You don't watch this film as much as grab on to it. Letting it jerk you every which way is a jangly but interesting ride.

Wong doesn't show us any of the sparks that can still be struck between lovers who argue constantly.

Sexy, spiky love story.

Were Kerouac, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg alive today, and able to see what Wong has done here ... they'd be thrilled and invigorated.
