Wong Kar Wai is not esoteric (at least, not anymore), but the ending to Happy Together (amongst other moments - in particular, one scene while they're fighting, but I can't find a video for it online) is still one of my favourite scenes in cinema ever. Christopher Doyle's cinematography + their editing is amazing. An example of "you can't write this shit" and why cinema is RAD.
