    Feminine perspectives

    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 10/02/2012

    » In her smoky evocation of lost love, vintage romance and bewitching cello music, Madonna, at the helm of W.E., channelled Wong Kar-wai of the early millennium, doing that visual serenade of beautiful, distressing women who're in the mood for love.
