Good recommendation. I saw a screening of this, with a Shane Carruth Q&A afterwards, last August or September. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it's good to see that it's finally coming to DVD.

Anything by Wong Kar-Wai. His films always have a beautiful, inventive visual style thanks to his work with cinematographer Christopher Doyle.

Also, since he deals so frequently with the themes of memory and time his films are never a purely linear experience.
