Norah Jones walks into Jude Law's café....
What would be annoying in most directors really works for Wai here - he's constantly shooting through something, textures, like Shangai Express... And his step printing is fantastic. Darius Khondji shot it, of course, and the editor William Chang worked on all the other Wais.
Story is deep and affecting, particularly in the episode with David Strathairn and Rachel Weisz, both of whom are just brilliant, and later with Natalie Portman (equally good). Jude is so charismatic that we just love him.
The music, by Ry Cooder. also features a great acoustic version of 'Yumeji's Theme'.
