Chungking Express

I don’t know what I’ve just watched. It was so visually pretty. The colours, the settings, even the cast itself. Yet it feels experimental, certain shots were beautiful and others odd. I think I loved it but I honestly can’t tell you why. It’s an exploration of heartbreak with such bizarre plot lines yet that what makes it stand out so much. Each character is so eccentric in their own way, I feel like I’d read them straight out of a book instead of watching them do it on screen.  The first story was incredibly depressing but on the flip side a good reminder of how things, good and bad, eventually will come to an end. The second story was odd yet cute at the end.
