Chungking Express review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/05/13
It embodies two stories involving Cop 223, a woman with a blonde wig (played by Brigitte Lin), Cop 663 and Faye. The plot on the 2nd story was more engaging than the first, wishing there could have been more to their relationship. Soundtrack well picked and camera direction was detailed. Had countless memorable provocative quotes such as: "People change." - Woman in blond wig "Takes time to change." "It takes time to get used to things." - No.663 "I just want to enjoy life." - Faye. Very stylish direction, nice locations and sincere acting, Chungking Express is a very good drama with bits of humor injected coupled with some likable characters. If only there were more clarity and direction to the figures on the first story and a bit more action on both, then this would have been flawless.
