Nailed It
Two stories, two lovelorn cops, two objects of desire: one a big-time heroin dealer in deep trouble with her boss after the cargo disappears, the other a seriously flaky take-out waitress who inadvertently gets hold of the keys to her admirer’s apartment, all shot in a breathless kaleidoscope of color and hand-held camera work to create a mesmerizing portrait of Hong Kong in the 1990s.

With the constant use of “California Dreamin” and “Dreams”, do you think this is a film about dreams? In some ways, it is, and in other ways it is not.

You have to give this film credit. Besides looking great and just being an overall wonderful movie, there are little things that really stand out in the writing. The “May 1” can idea, with the connection between birthdays and expiration… so clever.

A near miss
A never ending frenzy of clever visual ironies does not necessarily create an engaging film. The “Blonde Wig” half of the movie never took off perhaps due to too much self-indulgence by its makers.

The Wong Faye half (featuring a very playful, if Karen Carpenter looking, Faye Wong) holds much more appeal. All the ingredients are there, however, the girl-meets-boy story element takes a back seat to artsy cleverness. Character development is uneven. Emotion is missing.

For music lovers, Wong Faye’s “Mung Jung Yun” (Cantonese version of the Cranberry’s smash hit “Dreams”) is used effectively in Chungking Express. Faye Wong also recorded a Mandarin language version called “Zhen Tuo.” Both are on CD, although only “Mung Jung Yun” is found on the official movie soundtrack CD.
