453 - Chungking Express (1994)
Manage episode 270073385 series 2779324
We are joined by Michael Patrick Jann, film and television writer/director and member of The State to discuss his personal pick: Wong Kar-wai’s frenetic romantic masterpiece Chungking Express. Two stories, each with a lovesick cop (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung) and a self-possessed woman (Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong) navigating Hong Kong and exploring themes of love, heartbreak, street food, and obsession. Funny, adorable, charming, tender, and sexy - our protagonists pursue meaningful if momentary connections in the alienating modern world. But, like, in a gorgeous and experimentally shot kind of way.
