Chungking Express

DIRECTED BY: Kar-wai Wong

REVIEWED: 06-13-96

This delightful, bittersweet love story from Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai is innovative and stylish from start to finish. Two loosely affiliated stories about love connections in the big city blend detective-story intrigue with fantasy romance. Filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai, who is widely known in Hong Kong, has a sly, offbeat sense of how stories should be put together, and the structure of this film is as surprising and fresh as the love lives of the characters. Good performances by handsome young actors make the whole thing even more appealing.
