Film: CHUNGKING EXPRESS

Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung), both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. Anything goes in Wong Kar-Wai’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing. This 4K restoration returns the film to its original theatrical aspect ratio and adds newly retooled surround sound. [102 min; comedy, crime, drama; English, Cantonese, Japanese, Hindi, Mandarin, Punjabi, and Urdu with English subtitles]
