MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS
Monday, May 12, 2008 at 12:55
I saw My Blueberry Nights last night at the Angelika Film Center in New York City. The movie is magnificent. It is struggling, delicate, intelligent and tender. Another masterpiece from Wong Kar Wai.
The original Angelika Film Center & Café opened in New York City's Soho district in 1989. It was the only place to see independent films in New York at that time. I have seen some of my favorite movies there. The Angelika in New York City is the flagship cinema, and in 1997 Angelika opened a theater in Houston, Texas. In 2001, an Angelika opened in the very popular Mockingbird Station in Dallas, Texas and most recently in 2004, an Angelika opened in Plano, Texas.
The Angelika New York has been a hub for independent cinema since it opened, and many filmmakers across the country hold it in high regard as one of the premier places to debut their films. The theater has six screens. The lobby area houses a fully operational cafe that neighborhood locals use as a restaurant.
MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS is Wai's his first English language film, starring singer Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, David Strathairn and Rachel Weisz. The story follows Elizabeth (Jones), a young woman who travels across America to escape a recent heartbreak and encounters a series of odd jobs and off-beat characters along the way.
