Chungking Express (4K Ultra HD)

Chungking Express4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Restored)Genre: World CinemaLabel: The Criterion CollectionDescription: The whiplash double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of 1990s cinema and the film that made Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung Chiu Wai) both jilted by ex-lovers cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out food stand where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. Anything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’ into tokens of romantic longing.
