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
