Wong Kar Wai, Hong Kong, 1995, DCP, 99. In Cantonese with English subtitles. 

In this B-side to CHUNGKING EXPRESS, Hong Kong is a neon fever dream; a rush of lights illuminating the broken hearts of its inhabitants; the lives of a contract killer (Leon Lai) and his lovelorn partner (Michelle Reis), a drifter in search of her ex-boyfriend, and a mute ex-con (Takeshi Kaneshiro) cross paths in its streets. A cool nocturnal reverie; aglow fluorescent with urban anxieties and longing; characterized by an exhilarating, go-for-broke panache typifying Wong Kar Wai’s ‘90 style.
