Description:
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, leaving 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- and 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.
