Hong Kong, 2004
Director Wong Kar Wai's beautiful, complicated film is a love story with science fiction elements set in 1960s Hong Kong. Though it has multiple timelines, and the narrative does not follow a linear progression, much of the film takes place on Christmas Eve. The protagonist, Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung), is a writer who loves and loses several women. The significance of the holiday to the story is a matter of interpretation, but at one point Chow remarks that on Christmas everyone is lonely and needs extra love.
