...touching sparked more erotic heat than a dozen Jenna Jameson epics. In the new film Leung plays a harsher version of the same character, as he languishes in room 2046 of a Hong Kong hotel and half-heartedly courts a quartet of fabulous dames: a prostitute (Zhang Ziyi), a vamp (Carina Lau), a gambler (Gong Li) and the elfin girl of his dreams (Faye Wong). That gives the director four times as many chances to let furtive glances and plaintive words collide-which they do, to subtly spectacular effect. It?s a story of love and loss, beautifully designed...
...technical skill. On Canvas, Glasper shows his chops as a composer, with nine original tunes that evoke the muscular lyricism of Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett while still feeling fresh. Glasper is at his best on the title track, playing off tenor saxophonist Mark Turner in a minor-key vamp that constantly shifts mood and meter but never loses touch with its simple, soulful melody...
...show, if not a full-scale palace revolution, proved at the very least seditious. There was no sign of the sexed-up Gucci girl that Tom Ford, the brand's imagemaker until two years ago, so famously unveiled in the mid-'90s.

Yet the ingénue carries one accessory still redolent of the Ford era: the handbags. There were top-handled purses in crocodile with bamboo toggles, a leitmotiv...
...follow-up to Wong's In the Mood for Love, about the furtive affair of a journalist, Chow (Leung), and a woman (Maggie Cheung) living in the same boardinghouse. Now Chow, relocated to a hotel, has erotic adventures with a prostitute (Zhang Ziyi), a gambler (Gong Li), a vamp named Lulu (Carina Lau) and the hotel manager's beguiling daughter (Faye Wong), who is also a mysterious android in the science-fiction novel Chow is trying to write...
Around the trendier haunts of Europe and America, she has long been considered the quintessential night creature. So when the producers of Vamp started looking for someone to play a vampire who not only swills but dresses to kill, they understandably turned to Disco Diva Grace Jones. Due out this summer, the film casts Jamaica-born Jones as Katrina, a 2,000-year-old Egyptian vampire who works in a U.S. nightclub. For a scene in which Katrina performs one of her drop-dead stage acts, Jones' friend, New York Artist Keith Haring, agreed to body-paint her with...
