Review of Chungking Express (1994) by Karlo M — 22 Jul 2008
Two tales of loneliness and disconnection in a sprawling metropolis that revolve loosely around a 24-hour food stand called the Chungking Express. Elements from both plots bleed in and out of each other while being completely autonomous.
Extremely fresh cinematography with vibrant location shots in a bustling Hong Kong urban landscape. Unforgettable quirky characters supplemented with crisp witty dialogue and brought to life with a flowing improvisational style.
Cerebral is the right word... hmm, Godard-ian is even more apt.
