In Theaters
Though it doesn’t appear that Wong Kar Wai is going to be setting up shop permanently in Hollywood (nobody’s going to be after him to direct the next Die Hard installment), My Blueberry Nights marks his first English-language film, with an entirely American and British cast. It shows that the director is not just a foreign-language specialty. However, My Blueberry Nights also shows that for all Wong’s rightly vaunted abilities and passionate sense of cinema, there are some glaringly obvious rough patches in his approach, brought into sharp relief by transplanting the action from the teeming streets of Hong Kong to the wide open spaces of America, where his instincts for actors seem less sure…My Blueberry Nights is in theaters now.
