Review of Chungking Express (1994) by Nicky S — 24 Oct 2014

A great film on all fronts. This movie has exquisite cinematography. Each frame of this film is art. This movie also has a terrific, meditative, reflective story - it's beautiful itself. The characters are very well-developed, and it's simply a great simple story of personal stories of love in a busy, impersonal city.

The ending is a bit flat, but overall it's one of the best, most beautiful films I've watched. Can't believe the same guy that directed the Grandmaster - cinematically beautiful but poor plot - directed this.

I guess The Grandmaster was the exception rather than the norm.
