...measure because of two men who have been his closest collaborators on most of his films. William Chang, the editor, production designer and costume designer, is both the architect and the first critic of Wong's vision. Cinematographer Christopher Doyle matches the director's artistry and energy with a luscious camera style that sees beyond surfaces into essences. He takes ravishing pictures of troubled souls...
...Well, not quite. Corney is giving each an overhaul. For Syrup, the new look will be "sexy '70s ski lodge, warm and luscious," according to designer Kate Dunn from Sydney's Enigami Architecture. Meanwhile, a bracing dash of Futurism has already transformed Round Midnight from beery rock venue to cool dance club. Despite its compactness (it holds only about 300 bopping bodies), it has hosted superstar DJs like the U.K.'s Adam Freeland and James Holden-guys used to playing to crowds of 20,000, but who still find time to travel down to Tassie's little...
...Hero was a meditative, superbly color-coded parable of love and death. Daggers is also perfumed by the haunting musk of death, but it's a jauntier piece, shot in luscious autumnal colors and with fabulous stunts supervised by Hong Kong-based action guru Ching Siu-tung.

Unfortunately, it was a fairly dreadful one: Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul?s ?Tropical Malady,? in which one man falls in love with another and tracks him through the jungle. This artless, plotless film had, according to Tarantino, ?the strongest defenders on the Jury.? And the strongest...
Tunde Adebimpe’s distinctively shiny voice, combined with the hypnotic falsetto chiming of Kyp Malone, is what makes this record so unique. The music, looping beats and random instrumental coloring, plays background to the luscious vocal harmonies. A capella love song “Ambulance” is positively entrancing as the duo sing on hauntingly syncopated beats over the constant bounce of backing bass...
