Ex-DJ/rap star Kot's first feature is the only attempt to 'do' Wong Kar-Wai which was actually produced by Wong Kar-Wai. Framed as an enquiry into the true nature of 'first love', it comprises five sketchy episodes interrupted by directorial voice-overs ('Isn't Chris Doyle's hand-held camerawork amazing? Got anything for a headache?') and to-camera pieces by Kot posing as a big time director. The only sustained episode is the last one, in which a grocer, fearing a long delayed retribution from the fiancée he jilted ten years earlier, imagines himself the victim in an urban remake of Ashes of Time. The generally childish humour is fairly wearying, but it never quite cancels out the naked sincerity which underpins the whole thing.
