If you appreciate visually stunning movies, this one should secure a spot on your watchlist.
The story advances in the spirit of its main characters - it offers no background, no explanation, no coherent conclusion. Instead of a structured plot, you get to live through flashes and episodes of alienating experiences.
WKW doesn't rely on dialogue to make the viewer experience longing, rejection, or loneliness that his characters go through - the art he later perfected in 'In The Mood For Love'.
'Fallen Angels' requires a specific niche of viewers to maximize the enjoyment of its narrative. Regardless of that, its direction, soundtrack, and cinematography are good enough to make the journey worthwhile.
