Chungking Express (1994)
Director: Wong Kar-Wei
Wong Kar-Wei’s films speak in a romantic language incomparable to any other. Chungking Express tells us two tales of desire. The first examines a heartbroken police officer consumed by loneliness. He battles rejection with the excessive indulgence of expired, canned pineapple. That is, until he meets a mysterious blonde stranger. The second story examines another lonely police officer, however, we view this protagonist through the eyes of his female secret admirer. Unwilling to forget his ex, the police officer here begins talking to the many cluttered objects in his apartment. Meanwhile, the secret admirer obtains the key to his apartment and begins to sneak in for a bit of spring cleaning. Chungking Express is another visually striking film by Wong Kar-Wei that’s better left visually manifested in your memory than preached by me. – [imdb]
