CHUNGKING EXPRESS


CHUNGKING EXPRESS, cult filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai's hugely influential breakthrough, is a supremely stylish combination of love story and thriller, set in and around Hong Kong's infamous Chungking Mansions, a vast complex of shabby hostels, bars and clubs.
The film tells the stories of two lovelorn cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung) and the woman with whom they become involved: a mysterious drug dealer dressed in a blonde wig and sunglasses (Brigitte Lin), and an impulsive young dreamer (Faye Wong).

Featuring a charismatic cast, cool pop soundtrack and stunning photography by Christopher Doyle, CHUNGKING EXPRESS is an unconventional and dazzlingly original modern day noir.
