I watched `Fallen Angels', (Duo luo tian shi), after seeing director Kar Wai Wong's excellent `In the Mood for Love', (Fa yeung nin wa), and I was very disappointed. `Fallen Angels' had some quirky and evocative camera work and the story was of interest in the beginning but the movie went nowhere. After the first third of the movie most of the remaining action was a repeat. Scenes of bored looking people sitting in a bar and the endless cigarette smoking were tiresome. I ended up fast forwarding through many scenes and they were still too long. I wouldn't waste time watching this movie but be sure to catch `In the Mood for Love', a sensual pleasure.
