What happens

I Come with the Rain is a 2009 neo-noir thriller written and directed by Vietnamese-born French director Tran Anh Hung, starring American actor Josh Hartnett. After making three movies about Vietnam, Hung intended to make a baroque action film, a passionate thriller, both intense and poetic, haunted by three characters from the mythology of film and the Western world: the serial killer, the private investigator, and the Christ figure. The film takes place in Los Angeles, Mindanao and Hong Kong and brings together American and Asian actors. The film score was written by the Argentine Academy Award winner Gustavo Santaolalla and the English alternative rock band Radiohead. The film also made heavy use of post-rock music, including songs by Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and A Silver Mt. Zion. The film premiered in Tokyo at Toho Cinemas Roppongi Hills on 27 May 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
