Was this actually Directed by WKW ?

Wong Kar-Wai, probably the greatest active Director in the World, delivers a dead piece of film ?

You heard me right.

Ok, so I know that maybe an 8-minute advertisement isn't the best way to say something, but take a look at David Lynch's Playstation 2 Ads.

At least he didn't "sign" his name on the picture, leaving only his initials.

Because quite obviously, he was in it for the money. Wait, wait, I don't blame him, that's nothing wrong with getting a couple of million dollars for a 3-day-shoot. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we got paid more for this than for any other feature film he has done.

What truly surprised me, was how "lazy" the whole film is. It seems like he didn't even put some thought into it, the whole thing is just dead, without sense or meaning. Any third-grade Film Student in his early 20's would've done the same thing with the proper equipment and crew.

Ultimately, I don't blame him - he got his money -, but he could've put some effort into it.

Perhaps Advertisements/Short-Films/Detective Stories aren't his forte.
