  1. Wong has acquired a loyal cult following over the years, and Dupont's exquisitely filmed episodes show why.
  2. This remarkable British silent (1929) is special in many ways.
  3. 90
    Wong is sensationally expressive and projects a modern, coolly appraising sexuality. Visually eloquent and often dazzling, the movie is no less terrific. Piccadilly is both evidence of silent cinema at its rudely aborted peak and Wong's frustrated potential to have been among its greatest stars.
