Critics have suggested a variety of reasons why this might reveal that Wong is nothing but a purveyor of Chinoiserie, appealing to the guilty liberal in us film buffs, but I suspect if it's less entrancing than his other work (and I do) it's that he's working with an entirely new cast in entirely new locations, and given that he tends to work either with actors or a city, Hong Kong, he knows well, or both, it's not hard to see why this might fail to register at the same level.
