About
A screening of the film "Chungking Express". Wong Kar-wai's 1994 pop masterpiece tells the stories of two lovelorn cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung) and the women who baffle them (Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong), its bifurcated structure suggesting the A- and B-sides of a 45. Wong's international breakthrough invites one to disappear into a voluptuary world bigger and brighter than our own—but just as heartbreaking.

Critics
8.1Very good
Critics praise the film's hypnotic style, emotional depth, and lovelorn characters, calling it a masterpiece. Some fault its demanding, plot-light structure and restless visual energy, which can puzzle or frustrate viewers unfamiliar with it.
