I love the stupidity of holding on to what has moved on. I love the smallness of the biggest emotion we know. I love the pain that doesn't seem to leave but you know somehow it will. I love seeing love. And I love how Wong Kar-Wai manages to capture all of the above and…

I always love films about people feeling...lost. It reminds me of who I am. There's this feeling of trying to find a connection to something but there's a struggle as you don't know how to work that connection. That's what I think Wong Kar-Wai pulls off so well with this…
Brendan MichaelsSep 3, 2021"Actually, really knowing someone doesn't mean anything. People change. A person may like pineapple today and something else tomorrow." Perfect movie, intimate but not claustrophobic, bittersweet but not sad, funny but not silly, beautiful but not pretty, ultimately,…

Chloe Pachoud likedChungking ExpressVery original way of filming. About time, love, rushing everything to find a solution or letting it come to you. About loving and being loved, respect and delusion. About life.

Wong infuses his films with style and energy. His hand-held camera is restless, always moving and shifting. The action sequences are punctuated with unusual shots and stop-motion jumps. By filming Chungking Express in such rich, vibrant manner, the director uses visual images to underscore his themes.

This is the kind of movie you'll relate to if you love film itself, rather than its surface aspects such as story and stars. It's not a movie for casual audiences, and it may not reveal all its secrets the first time through, but it announces Wong Kar-Wai, its Hong Kong-based director, as a filmmaker in the tradition of Jean-Luc Godard.
