Reviews for Chungking Express
a pair of not-entirely-successful romantic stories but, fuelled by [Wong Kar Wai's] cinematic fervor and exuberant use of music...it's irresistible
A near-perfect fusion of form and style, content and substance. One of the great movies of its decade.
Intoxicating, jazzy, and clever evocation of a certain breed of Hong Kong night-life.
