Chungking Express tells two stories loosely connected by a Hong Kong snack bar. In one story, a cop who's been recently dumped by his girlfriend becomes obsessed with the expiration dates on cans of pineapple; he's constantly distracted as he tries to track down a drug dealer in a blond wig (played by Brigitte Lin, best known from Swordsman II and The Bride with White Hair). Meanwhile, another cop who's recently been dumped by his girlfriend (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, from John Woo's Hard-Boiled and A Bullet in the Head) mopes around his apartment, talking to his sponge and other domestic objects. He catches the eye of a shop girl (Hong Kong pop star Faye Wang) who secretly breaks in and cleans his apartment. If you're beginning to suspect that neither of these stories has a conventional plot, you're correct. What Chungking Express does have is loads of energy and a gorgeous visual style that never gets in the way of engaging with the charming characters. The movie was shot on the fly by hip director Wong Kar-Wai (Happy Together, Ashes of Time), using only available lighting and found locations. The movie's loose, improvisational feel is closer to Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless than any recent film--and that's high praise. Quirky, funny, and extremely engaging, Chungking Express manages to be experimental and completely accessible at the same time. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Chungking Express [Region 2]

Funny
The first story is kind of confusing and not that interesting. The second story is funny and light and I think it is good entertainment.

Wong Kar-Wai 101
This is actually a pretty good introduction to Wong Kar-Wai's impressionistic style of moviemaking. This one has a linear plot (with two stories set end to end) but with his trademark what's-going-on-here storytelling, veeerrry offbeat moments, but this time with sweeping, handheld camera shots. <
> <
>Many fine actors contribute but I must give special praise to tall, skinny and gamine Faye Wong. She's charming in the same way that Audrey Hepburn was -- but prettier and sexier. Like Audrey often did, Faye plays an ultra-free-spirit and is she a heart-breaker! Scantily-clad Valerie Chow provides some potent sex appeal in a couple scenes. <
> <
>Quentin Tarantino provides an on-screen Introduction and Afterward. The Intro is a perfunctory welcome. The lengthier Afterward has some neat behind-the-scenes tidbits -- altho, he mistakenly states that this was Faye Wong's first movie. <
> <
>I thought of giving this film only 3 stars -- but Faye gives it extra ooomph.

Great movie even before Tarantino
Everyone else has written great reviews about this movie, so, there really is no point for me to repeat what everyone else has said. I just wanted to say that this movie was out in the western world way before Quentin Tarantino stopped making movies and started sticking his name on great movies that have existed superbly without his "assistance" which is ever so redundant. Wong Kar Wai has always created artistic masterpieces even before Tarantino made his first appearance in the public eye. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!
