Both stories present a beautifully atmospheric look at modern urban life and romance, with its combination of isolation and casual, unexpected meetings. The first story tells us of a young police officer known as Cop 223 (Takeshi Kaneshiro), who broke up with his long term girlfriend, May (who we never see). The Movie: One of Wong Kar-Wais better known films, at least in North America, Chungking Express is a film that basically tells two stories. Eternals (2021) Action/Adventure Rated PG-13 At its best, this is galaxy-brain, comic-book stuff rooted in a tactile sense of place.
Showing how one can be distressed and left hurt by looking to the past and waiting for it to change, Chungking Express features. For the 100 minutes or so of Chungking Express, we feel it the same way.
The strange woman decides to regularly clean and redecorate the man's apartment in his absence, allowing the two to form a close intimacy without meeting face to face. Review by Ian Jane posted Decem E-mail the Author. A truly sad and depressing film, Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express is an exploration of loneliness, focused in on two men looking for love in the past in Hong Kong. The second story explores the odd relationship between a female restaurant worker and another recently jilted police officer. His sad isolation is transformed when he encounters a beautiful, mysterious femme fatale, whose involvement with the criminal underworld proves troublesome for both. The first centers on a depressed cop struggling to come to terms with a recent break-up. Director Wong Kar-Wai plays freely with traditional narrative structure, dividing his film into two loosely connected segments. A Hong Kong fast food restaurant acts as the link between two unusual stories of police officers in love in this eccentric, stylish comedy-drama.
