I'm usually at a loss to write about romantic comedies, but not because I don't find them worthwhile. This one, in particular, is immensely charming. The director, Wong Kar Wai, is a master of style (see In The Mood For Love for an example) and this film is no exception. While it lacks some of the more ostentatious moves of other films (running the film upside down in Happy Together, for example) it's still beautiful to look at.
When a waitress falls in love with a police officer, and obtains a key to his apartment, she takes it upon herself to redecorate in secret. He takes these changes in stride, simply assuming that his apartment is moving on from his ex-girlfriend, something he has been unable to do. Eventually, she gives him a boarding pass, but the destination has been smudged. He's willing to go wherever it takes him.
