Dec 23, 2021A movie about fleeting moments and random encounters, full of fleeting moments and random encounters. Sometimes wish the stories were more tied in together, but it's fun, sad and charming all the sameDavid O Super Reviewer

Nov 25, 2011Surreal visuals and humor keep this aimless movie from feeling like an exercise in futility. This feels like a movie that was shot between a group of friends on a weekend and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But there was no real semblance of plot, it really is a visually driven movie. But since it's been almost 17 years since this film's release, it probably doesn't stand the test of time visually. One thing I liked about the movie was that it had a sense of confidence about its style. It didn't give a fuck that there was no story to speak of and it wasn't going to fit within the parameters of what people believe a movie should be, and that takes a lot of balls, because this isn't exactly the easiest movie to sit through, especially some parts in the middle. It takes a certain mindset to enjoy. It's not a movie I'd recommend to everybody, but I did like it.Jesse O Super Reviewer

Jun 10, 2011Amazing direction by Wong Kar-wai and a film flooding to the brim with emotional pull and humanity, Fallen Angels is another great film in his repertoire. Shot with many effects and filming styles, the film literally portrays a moving city and those in it in such a surreal and exciting way. With the many references to Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express(1994), this makes a wonderful companion piece to that particular film but thoroughly remains its own distinctively original story arc and characters. If you haven't checked out Wong Kar-wai yet or any of his films, Fallen Angels, Chungking Express (1994), In the Mood for Love (2000), or Happy Together(1997) are all released on Blu-ray, and you should rent or watch one to get a taste of his visual style. The first three have excellent Criterion Collection releases and Kino gives a solid job with Happy Together so if you like one you will likely find the others very intriguing and unique works as well!Chris B Super Reviewer

Feb 24, 2010I tried IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, and then 2046 and now FALLEN ANGELS and they're all "all style, and no substance" and boring as hell. No more Kar Wai Wong romantic coupling films for me. ASHES OF TIME REDUX is great though.Lesley N Super Reviewer
