MPAA RATING: Not Rated
Starring Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, Carina Lau, Rebecca Pan, Jacky Cheung, Danilo Antunes, and Hung Mei-Mei
In his first hypnotic backward glance at Hong Kong in 1960, Wong Kar Wai creates a post-modern La Ronde set in a fluorescent labyrinth of cool desperation and unfulfilled need. Against the echoing rhythms of period rumbas, Days of Being Wild (1991) tracks a half dozen characters through their individual searches for intimate connection. (Kino International)

I was so hypnotized by its beauty the first time I saw it in the cinema that I paid to watch it again for the next 2 days. And for the next 17 years, I continued watching this movie again and again, first on VHS, then VCD and now DVD. And I never cease to be mesmerized by it.
Brian M gave it a10:
This and 2046 speak very loudly to a certain group of people. If you haven't been there, I wouldn't expect you to understand. To those it have, it's powerful stuff.
R G gave it a10:
one of the best movies i have ever seen and he keeps getting better with each i m not sure how that is possible every second of thsis movie is dripped in dealing with time and mix of emotions.
HEY METACRITIC gave it a10:
Yo, Metacritic. Why isn't this on the All-Time list when it has the second best score on the site? Give me a good reason and get back to me, thanks. [Ed.: It is Metacritic's policy not to include re-releases on the best/worst metascore lists.]
T Ngo gave it a10:
Just wonderful! I especially loved its meditation on time.
Suze gave it a3:
How could this possibly rank as the all-time 2nd best DVD, after The Godfather and tied with Dr. Strangelove?! It's slow, dull and unaffecting - but inexplicably, another critics' darling. Don't waste your time on this one.
