The “break from filmmaking” aspect is what I believe makes it the most accessible of all his films. It was reportedly written and shot during a break from the laborious filming of his martial arts epic Ashes of Time. Anytime, AnywhereĬhungking Express was directed by Wong Kar Wai and released in 1994.
Chungking express full movie part one movie#
My favorite movie is Chungking Express (重庆森林), my chocolate cheesecake of movies. Thankfully, I saw a film that was made in 1994 that appealed to me so much that I don’t break out into a sweat when asked this horrific question anymore. With that being said, I have learned that it is much easier to just give an answer to this seemingly harmless question than to put everyone off at dinner or to make a promising first-date think that I’m psychotic. On the other hand, how am I supposed to boil down my hobby and passion for films into one movie title? If it is something I don’t know much about, I usually can give a straight answer, like what’s my favorite dessert? I can safely say chocolate cheesecake because I’m ignorant to the dessert world. Ask me any movie related question and I’m ready to sit down over a beer or coffee and chat for hours. On one side, of course I want to talk about movies. This response usually makes the questioner sorry they asked such a seemingly innocent question. When you identify yourself as “a movie person”, the dreaded question that never fails to get asked is, “ So what is your favorite movie?” This question is annoying in many ways and is usually answered with a top five list or in my case I say, “ You really want to go down this road?” and then start firing-off movie title and director for about ten of my favorite movies. We all get asked at some point, “What’s your favorite movie?”
