Synopsis:

Kar Wai Wong’s “Chungking Express” tells two subsequent stories, each about a policeman and his romance with a woman. The stories are not interconnected apart from one short moment where one story ends and the other begins. Using kaleidoscope color effects and a handheld camera, Wong created a hypnotizing portrayal of the 1990s Hong Kong.
