As they each navigate the world in their own heartsick way, it’s impossible not to fall head over heels for them both, making the final moments of Chungking Express hopelessly romantic and unforgettableīY BUS - WEEKDAYSNote: the NFSA is open daily 10.00am – 4.00pm (except Christmas Day and New Year's Day), and outside those times for special film screenings and events – see our upcoming events calendar. C hungking Express (1994) was the Masculin féminin of the 1990s, a pop art movie about cool twentysomethings looking for love in the city that has replaced Paris as the center of the world-cinema imagination. But for all the wildness in the production, the central performances – and especially those of Faye Wong and Tony Leung – are nothing short of pitch perfect. In an interview he said, “working with a very tight budget, we called ourselves CNN, just bring the camera and shoot it, no permits, no licence so everyday it’s like planning a robbery!” This anarchic energy is infused throughout the film, from Andrew Lau Wai- keung and Christopher Doyle’s startling camerawork to the editing, which Wong Kar Wai and William Chang did simultaneously, each taking one storyline in the film. Produced during a break from the epic period drama of Ashes of Time, Wong Kar Wai worked guerrilla style to make an entirely unrelated film, in under three months. Its inhabitants are a mysterious trench coat - clad gangster (Brigitte Lin), two handsome and heartbroken cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung Chiu- wai ), and a canteen attendant dreaming of California (Faye Wong). From the opening seconds of Chungking Express, we’re plunged into a frenetic world where plot gives way to an enthralling study of people and place.
