A New Wave masterpiece with a dash of MTV sprinkled in, Chungking Express is a pop-culture valentine to a city that never sleeps, and the lovelorn individuals who look for - and sometimes find - love in the most unexpected of places!įeaturing memorable songs like Faye Wong's "Dreams" and California Dreamin' as well as the film score, the soundtrack for Chungking Express has been specially remastered for the 25th anniversary of Jet Tone Films.
Each finds their own possibilities in Hong Kong's fast-moving neon cityscape, among them a mysterious runaway smuggler (a blond-wigged Brigitte Lin) and a flighty but utterly charming counter-girl (Faye Wong) at the 24-hour Midnight Express deli. However, it's not crime that occupies their thoughts, but failed relationships and missed romantic chances. From director Wong Kar Wai comes Chungking Express, a charming and breezy Hong Kong classic that's considered by some to be the director's signature work! Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro star as a pair of cops who roam Hong Kong's Tsimshatsui and Central districts at night.
