The internationally branded filmmaker, Wong Kar Wai's first English speaking, U.S. shot film, My Bluberry Nights opened Friday in Los Angeles! After a nomination for the Golden Palm and opener at the 60th Annual Cannes Filmfest last year in France, I was for sure this film would be picked up for distro sooner or later, and I was in ultra anticipation for it's release. I finally got to see the film and I thought it was totally awesome and I think what did it for me was Norah Jones' character Elizabeth but I won't give anything away!

One really strong aspects before even viewing the film is the eclectic edge that the film's soundtrack really pushes on. This jazzy blues country pop collage is nothing short of an amazing album. With Wong filming all over the U.S. including LA to NY and Memphis in between, the tones and the imagery are completed with the likes of Norah Jones (duh!), Cat Power, Composer Ry Cooder and Gustavo Santaolalla (+more). Just a great soundtrack to hang out with.
