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.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Sometimes the tangible distance between two persons can be quite small but the emotional one can be miles.
MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS is a look at those distances, from various angles.
I wanted to explore these expanses, both figuratively and literally, and the lengths it takes to overcome them.

WILLIAM CHANG SUK PING

William Chang Suk Ping has been responsible for redefining the aesthetic scope and ambition of Hong Kong cinema in the past 15 years. His work
