"One of the defining works of nineties cinema," CHUNGKING EXPRESS (1994) made Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. Anything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer. CHUNGKING EXPRESS screens, Wednesday, April 16 @ 7pm. Don't miss this bucket list movie on the big screen at Moxie Cinema, part of the Essential Arthouse series. This series is Free for Moxie Members. "Wong Kar-wai has created out of colored lights, devious angles, and a glorious smudged slo-mo his own charged, dazlingly elliptical grammar to express something about love and pain. Wong's Chungking Express is a lyric marvel, Jules and Jim for our anonymous time." (The Village Voice)"It's the cinematic equivalent of popcorn on a hot stove with jump-cut shots, freeze frames, stirringly beautiful images and boundless energy." (Washington Post)
"Wong and longtime cinematographer Christopher Doyle capture some of the most charming breaking-and-entering footage in recent memory." (Selina Lee)
Two melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal waitress at a late-night restaurant he frequents. (PG-13, 102 min.)
