Wong frequently accompanies variations in film speed with music that drowns out any other sound effect. Although at times these sequences make the film seem almost like an extended music video, it is enjoyable for any fan of artists such as Cassandra Wilson, Cat Power, and Otis Redding, who dominate the soundtrack. Wong uses music as a focus, rather than an accessory, adding to the effect...
