Putting a musician (Nora Jones) in the lead was a real brave choice from Wong Kar Wai ... and one that didn't backfire! While he's not the first who's done that (see Björk and other singers turned actresses), he's movie does succeed.
Of course that is also an achievement of the other actors (such as Jude Law etc.) and the really good camera work seen here. One thing that might annoy you though is the fact that it slow moving (at times it seems not to move at all) and also seems to have no directions it's heading whatsoever. If that doesn't put you off thought, you'll see a pretty good drama/movie :o)
