Movie poster for My Blueberry Nights

In Wong Kar Wai’s debut English-language feature, the internationally acclaimed director takes his audience on a dramatic journey across the distance between heartbreak and a new beginning.

After a rough break-up, Elizabeth (played by songstress Norah Jones in her screen debut) sets out on a journey across America and leaves behind a life of memories, a dream and a soulful new friend - a café owner (Jude Law) - all while in search of something to mend her broken heart.

Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers including a troubled cop (David Strathairn) and his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz) along with a down-on-her-luck gambler (Natalie Portman) with a score to settle.

Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.

I can’t WAIT to see this

I can’t WAIT to see this film!! I saw a trailer for it online and fell in love. If the film is as good as the soundtrack, it will be amazing!

Wong Kar Wai tip

Hi there,

I checked out your website, and I think this may be of interest to you. Our clothing boutiques, Opening Ceremony, in NY and LA has collaborated with Wong Kar Wai to produce exclusive, collectible merchandise having to do with the upcoming premiere of his new film, My Blueberry Nights. Email me if you want files of the merchandise and the official invite. Mr. Wong will also be doing an in-store signing at our NY location. Feel free to communicate to your readers, as this is a rare event. Let me know if you have any questions, and if you end up posting this info.

Best, Jacky

THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS

  • Clerks

    CHICAGO – Very few filmmakers provoke the same kind of passionate adoration as the sometimes-great Kevin Smith, a man who has such a following that he can sell out large theaters filled with people who merely want to ask him questions for hours. Smith is a charismatic, interesting, clever filmmaker and his best work reflect his gregarious personality. Three of his best are captured in “The Kevin Smith Collection,” including two films with all-new Blu-Ray material.

  • The Ugly Truth

    CHICAGO – Here’s an alleged romantic comedy as clueless about romance as it is about comedy. It has a premise designed to illustrate how women think with their minds, while men think with their nether regions. Yet the male and female leads of “The Ugly Truth” are practically indistinguishable from each other.
