“CHUNGKING EXPRESS is one of Wong’s purest evocations of love’s excitement and heartbreak.”
—Slant
Love is sweet, but for one pineapple-loving officer, it’s turned as sour as the expired fruit he’s vowed to eat for a month — or at least until his ex-girlfriend returns, whichever comes first. Thus begins the dual tale of two jilted Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung Chiu-wai) who cross paths with two very different women (Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong). A total charmer from master stylist Wong Kar-wai.
