Asian Cinema - Sleepless Town scene

A Japanese/Chinese film released in 1998, Sleepless Town is a story about a man with an illustrious family and an infamous past that he cannot seem to get away from. Couple that with a mysterious female that throws herself at him at any given moment and it's a recipe for disaster.

Why this scene?

I adore single sequence cuts, specifically those that contain so many elements in the scenes and last over 2 minutes that it just blows my mind. Within the first 5-8 mins of this film, not only did it manage to convey so much mystery towards the main character and his whereabouts.. but also in terms of what he was doing, why he was doing, what was the outcome of his journey?

Takeshi Kaneshiro performed his role brilliantly at times throughout this film and there's never a moment why I wonder he is one of my favourite Asian film actors when he can do something as simple as this with so much charisma that it oozes with style.

I like it too---I've always liked non-stop steadicam scenes when they're done this well and capture so much in one long take----I like the pretty/low-key,spooky music and the colored credits too! How come this film's not on YouTube---it makes makes me wants to see this!
