I had the great pleasure to watch Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights" on the big screen. My, what a gorgeous film. I love how Wong captures a wide range of American life with the perspective of an outsider. I've heard the film hasn't been getting very good reviews but I'm not really sure why. The performances were very good. I wanted to hate Norah Jones (I actually did for the first few seconds) but I quickly fell in love with her character. There were solid performances all around. And, as usual for Wong Kar Wai, the movie is visually stunning.

I was surprised that Christopher Doyle (the master Cinematographer that often works with Wong) was not involved on "My Blueberry Nights". The visual language of the film seems to borrow heavily from Doyle and Wong's previous work.

The movie is a romance, so I don't recommend it to people who can't stand getting a little emotional (sorry Jerry, this film ain't for you!) but for everyone else, I definitely feel it's worth checking out.

Below is a HD version of the Trailer. It takes a little longer than the typical YouTube video to load, but Wong Kar Wai's visuals demand the better resolution!
