Sinopsis: Dos historias de amor independientes que se desarrollan en el popular barrio turístico de Tsimhatsui, en Hong Kong. La primera describe el fugaz encuentro entre un joven policía en plena crisis amorosa y una misteriosa mujer fatal traficante de drogas. La segunda se centra en el singular romance entre un solitario y sencillo agente de policia y la joven camarera del pobre bar donde aquél suele comer. (FILMAFFINITY)

Synopsis: The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of nineties cinema and the film that made Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai an instant icon. 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'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.
