Cult filmmaker Wong Kar Wai's hugely influential breakthrough film 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 Kaneshire and Tony Leung) and the women with whom they become involved: a mysterious blonde-wigged drug dealer (Brigitte Lin), and an impulsive young dreamer (Faye Wong). Featuring a charismatic cast, a cool pop soundtrack and stunning photography by Christopher Doyle, Chungking Express is dazzlingly original.
