IF MY MEMORY OF HER HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE, LET IT BE 10,000 YEARS.

Two heartsick Hong Kong cops, both recently jilted by their lovers, find themselves caught up in unexpected romantic encounters. One falls for a mysterious woman connected to the criminal underworld, while the other becomes entangled with an ethereal waitress at the Midnight Express take-out stand. A whiplash, double-pronged romance about chance encounters, missed connections and the strange ways we find love in a city that never slows down.

For anyone looking to enter the world of Wong Kar Wai, "Chungking Express" is as good a place to start as any. One of the defining romances of 1990s cinema and ranking #200 in Letterboxd’s Official Top 500 Narrative Feature Films at the time of its launch on Letterboxd Video Store, Wong’s breakthrough brings together Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Brigitte Lin and Faye Wong in two loosely connected stories of heartbreak and unexpected connection. Shot amid the restless energy of Hong Kong by cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Andrew Lau, the film has made unlikely romantic symbols of canned pineapple, expiration dates and The Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'". A love letter to the city and to the strange rituals of being in love, now available on Letterboxd Video Store in 4K.
