Anybody else watched these movies? I just finished watching them; they are beautiful films. That’s all I have right now.

Yes I get paid to speaky in front of a lot of people and they take heed to me when I speaky. I also get paid to write books.

For anybody who has seen the film and wants to read a cool breakdown of sorts, perhaps read this:

Chungking Mansion...

Now that brings back bad memories

Books are cool
There like movies without pictures but extra subtitles

They’re both made by the same director. Fallen Angels is a sequel of sorts to Chungking Express. The films both have unique camera work that is hard to forget.

Theres a Korean label talking about releasing them on UHD

which one? if the release includes both bluray & UHD, & has comparable extras, i might go that route

Novamedia although they've not released details of how and when yet.

Honestly with extras I'm less interested in stuff like Wong Kar Wai were there's a wealth of comment and interviews on his work, you can get loads of Chris Doyle on youtube. The big benefit I find tends to come in somewhat more obscure stuff were its harder to track anything down.

Chungking Express is one of the best films ever. Fallen Angels is a weird one, like, was it supposed to be a drama / action / rom-com or something? I take In The Mood For Love over it.

Fallen Angels was pretty random but that’s how the director wanted it to be. I watched Fallen Angels first and really enjoyed it. Chunking Express stuck with me a bit more though. I found officer 663’s story very gripping.

Saw Chungking Express when it came out in the theater in the late 90s. Always remember that experience. Such an exquisitely beautiful film. That was my introduction to Wong Kar Wai and I pretty much Love all his work.

Also, ever since then that movie owns California Dreamin’. Can’t hear it without thinking of that movie.

I’m excited to check out the rest of his films. I would have loved to have been able to experience the film in the 90s like you did.
