As Tears Go By
🗓 Wednesday, December 3 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Before he was the poet of heartbreak, Wong Kar Wai made his debut with this neon-soaked crime drama — Mean Streets by way of Kowloon. Andy Lau plays Wah, a small-time gangster torn between loyalty to his reckless friend and the quiet pull of love for his cousin Ngor (Maggie Cheung). Beneath the smoke, sweat, and synths, the signature WKW themes emerge: loneliness, fatalism, and yearning against the hum of the city. As Tears Go By burns with energy and melancholy — a director’s heart already beating in time with his obsessions.
💬 “A Hong Kong gangster film with a bruised, romantic soul.” – Time Out
💬 “Wong’s first film already hums with the ache of impossible love.” – Sight & Sound
🎟 Free Entry & Popcorn – Arrive early for sofa, bed, or beanbag seating.
