Since I absolutely loved the gorgeous and moving 2046, and liked and admired the richly-colored Happy Together, I decided to watch Chungking Express last night. That's an earlier film by Wong Kar-Wai. Honestly, I don't think it's nearly as good as those later movies, but hey, it's still a Wong Kar-Wai film. It's the story of two romances. Sort of. Neither is really a regular romance. And the principals involved in the romances aren't really "together". It gets a bit tedious near the end (well, the Faye Wong character's antics just go on and on and on ...), but it's well acted, and I certainly didn't hate it. It's a sort of 2.5 stars kind of a movie. So ... watch 2046 instead.
