    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This film pioneered the use of jump cutting to and from a flashback, and of very brief flashbacks to suggest obtrusive memories.
    • Goofs
      When Elle leaves the hotel to go the set, she is wearing a nurse's uniform with a headscarf and carrying a black handbag. When Lui meets her on the set, she is now wearing a skirt and blouse and still has the headscarf. When they leave the set, the headscarf is left behind. When they get to Lui's house, she now has a white jacket.
    • Quotes
      • Lui: Some years from now, when I have forgotten you and other romances like this one have recurred through sheer habit, I will remember you as a symbol of love's forgetfulness. This affair will remind me how horrible forgetting is.
