AS TEARS GO BY (1994)

WONG KAR-WAI

Plot

Hong Kong's hippest 90s director's film debut, a disturbing story of a fight for survival in a lawless Kowloon. Ah Wan is heavier than his rivals but weakened by his undying loyalty to useless sidekick Fly, a loyalty which torpedoes his moment of salvation, the arrival of his beautiful adoring rural cousin. Mean Streets HK style.
