...even more hopeless than her own. As the lyrics of the opening song suggest, “the stories have all been told before.” However, it’s not the unoriginal plot or the fairly commonplace characters that keep the audience engaged. Rather, director Wong Kar Wai’s attention to detail, artful editing, and the blending of music with images create a film in which sensory appeal outweighs predictability. Although Jones plays the main character, her static performance serves as a backdrop for the more dynamic characters she meets along her journey. Rachel Weisz...

It was at this point, though, that Harvard’s defense, and particularly sophomore goalie Kyle Richter, proved its strength. Defenseman Jack Christian contributed with a particularly athletic block...
...racing devotees like Wong are harder to find these days. All four racing nights a week, the 54-year-old taxi driver parks himself in the back row of the Canidrome with a racing guide and a pack of cigarettes. "Dog racing is my passion," he says. "That's why I still come here." Out on the track, the dogs are chasing the rabbit, into an uncertain future...
