Chungking Express (Hong Kong, 1994)


This is a so-called "new wave" Hong Kong film from the early 1990's which was directed by the great Wong Kar Wai. 

The movie consists of two stories involving cops and their love lives. The first part stars Takeshi Kaneshiro as a lonely police officer with an upcoming birthday.

The second part has Tony Leung meeting Faye Wong at a diner in the Chungking district. 

Sparks don't necessarily fly between the characters but the movie soars thanks to the combination of great music and visuals. 

RATING: @@@@
