It is at bar that he encounters a certain femme fatale.

(I mean, who hasn't been there before?) He Qiwu goes on the rebound and seeks out a girl after much self pity. Whilst the May of which his relationship recently ended with has no screen time, there is plenty of monologue spoken from He Qiwu and interaction with other characters regarding her that as an audience we can feel his pain. For the first story, we become acquainted with He Qiwu, a man who pines over his most recent relationship with a girl called May. Their stories are told sequentially and are both running in chagrin until they encounter a new woman. The film's plot revolves around two separate narratives regarding two policemen working within Chungking,both of whom have gone through recent break ups. This film is something which has always been on my lengthy cinema bucket list.I am joyous that I took the the time viewing into this film as it was both uplifting and meditative amongst the chaos. WARNING: SMALL SPOILERS MAY BE GIVEN BELOW Today being a lazy Sunday, I finally got around to watching Chungking Express. (Either that or wishing you were in love.)Ī midst pining, sometimes a second chance is right in front of our eyes. The acting and script are both first rate - tony leung can do no wrong in my book - and overall it leaves you hungry for more little gems like this. A film that is romantic in all the right places, in all the right ways (believe me it will make you smile not reach for the sick bucket - Hollywood take note)and has a deft light comic touch that leaves you smiling in recognition at the heartbreak rather than crying over it. A film about love that is mired in reality (though shot through the lens of alcehmist - truly a visual experience to be savoured)though not gritty reality, just every day boring life and love, the sort of love we go through each day ourselves, the kinda incomplete love where two people touch each other briefly and spend more time dreaming of what could be rather than it actually taking place. I am not going to go into any details about the plot (some people have accused it of not having one)or what takes place in the film, just want to say that this is the real deal. There, that is as simple as I can make it out.
