...Leslie Cheung is a killer-for-hire who runs an inn in a remote part of China. The other stars come by to engage his services or to hide from those ready to kill them. The film - shot by that picture-taker and mood-maker of genius, Christopher Doyle - is essentially a series of gigantic closeups of these beautiful faces.

Or that people hire Frank Gehry instead of me when they want a beautiful building, or that Warren Buffett is a better stock picker? Sure, it's unfair.
