...Wong Kar Wai also loves Cannes. The Hong Kong writer-director has been here a half-dozen times, including last year's stint as president of the Festival Jury that awards the Palme d'Or on closing night (a week from Sunday). And the Festival likes Wong enough to have chosen his new film, My Blueberry Nights, as the opening night film at a black-tie ceremony later this evening. He'll be there with his star, Norah Jones, the pop singer making her acting debut in his first American movie - a very mixed bag, with some fine scenes...

...that is to sell the film short. Duelist?s hyper-romantic impulses and lush symphonic music, plus the backlighting, the stately swordplay, the fat snowflakes, not to mention more slo-mo shots than in a Wong Kar-wai retrospective - all these effects heroicize the enterprise, making it something to gaze upon but not enter into.
