Dezi is a young philandering taxi driver in Beijing. Thanks to his profession he meets people whose lives range far beyond his horizon. But when it comes to women his horizon has no limits. Following Dezi's taxi, we are taken on a journey across Beijing. He is always on the move, people and places flow quickly in and out of his life.

I enjoyed it enough but I found the story to be a little lacking - episodic, and some of the events don't come with much of an impact when they really should. Fantastic cinematography - all very realist but the use of natural light makes those cramped interiors breathe. The music was also lovely, and overall the film works well contrasting the city with people - both are works in progress, constantly growing and building - but to what end?

Follows the fragmented life of a Beijing cabbie after his divorce, as clients drift in and out of his awareness and he has a series of flings with emotionally damaged women. The location photography all around Beijing is super stuff, combining with some great supporting characters in small moments that impart a strong impression of life in the city. Unfortunately, I thought Dezi was pretty much a jerk, which made it hard for me to get into his story or care about what happened to him.

Despite the fact that I've never been to Beijing, I felt something almost like nostalgia or homesickness for the city while watching this. Something about the unassuming way these characters' lives are filmed reminds me of A. Weerasethakul's work; I can feel some kind of common humanity with them despite being personally ignorant of the context of their situations. The realism is slightly hindered by the fact that every female character looks like a movie star, but I can't complain about that.
