I own the Criterion Collection.<br /><br />Only recently, I watched Chungking Express again (which I have on Criterion Blu-Ray) and I think maybe that's the best Wong Kar-Wai film. Faye Wong is joyous, Brigitte Lin is mysterious and strange and exciting, straight out of film noir, the colors and the camerawork are flashy and exciting, it's funny, it's heart-rending, it makes you feel good, and it has gorgeous Tony Leung in it. What is there not to like?<br /><br />Chungking Express... I think might be slightly superior to ITMFL (which is also amazing).<br /><br />Happy Together is great too.<br /><br />OK I'll stop now.Timothy Griffithsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-33721330105063940232009-10-15T21:28:33.413-04:002009-10-15T21:28:33.413-04:00Glorious.Glorious.Arkaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-21870525173895034832009-10-15T17:39:03.808-04:002009-10-15T17:39:03.808-04:00I'm with UncleVanya, the soundtrack is magnifi...I'm with UncleVanya, the soundtrack is magnificent. And the cinematography - by Australia's claim to fame, Christopher Doyle - is just sublime. I love how every shot is so perfectly framed, Wong Kar Wai loved to pen them in architraves, or behind bars.<br /><br />And last but not least, what about those cheongsams! A dress at once so feminine and sexy yet rigid and claustrophobic. <br /><br />Yes, yes, I heart this film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245742125561982749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-44799201547583390782009-10-15T17:08:29.487-04:002009-10-15T17:08:29.487-04:00This film is a miracle.
