Description
Wong Kar Wai's loyal (& equally eccentric) cinematographer, Christopher Doyle's first directorial venture, makes not a film, but a painting with haunting imagery and brilliant cinematography. As Doyle himself puts in, "It's called AWAY WITH WORDS because that's what I do.. translate words into images."
A man leaves his house. Another applies for leave in his office. A third finishes his tea. Another gets himself shaved. All four are fresh entrants in the world of crime; kidnapping to be more precise. But the father of the kidnapped boy refuses to pay up. The son has already played this trick before and collected good ransom. The father does not believe this time it is a real thing. The kidnappers get desperate. The son has an idea. The plot thickens.
