My Review:
This movie is just straight out awesome, the story contain two stories about two cops and both are romanctic and artistic. Director Quentin Tarantino loves this film and worked with Miramax film to bring this wonderful film to US. I thought Takeshi Kaneshiro's acting was not that great, but he improved later on other works (such as The Space Travelers, from Japanese directors. Wong's film to Hong Kong is like Breathless is to Paris, Chungking Express presents some of Wong's motifs deadlines, significant seconds, love sickness in the form of an intoxicating and offbeat comedy towards melancholy. Other works by Wong that I love are Ashes of Time and Fallen Angel.
