Chungking Express, Wong Kar-wai (1994)

I know this blog is not supposed to be a film review, but i cannot help but state the fact that I adore this film! I found it interesting that the two stories were not related at all, and that characters from the second part could be seen in the background in the first story. For example, in the first story the woman with the wig is walking by a store and in the background Faye can very subtly be seen walking out of a store holding a giant Garfield which she gives to Cop 663 in the second story. This is almost a hint that the two stories are happening more or less simultaneously. Another thing I found beautiful about the film is that it gives a take on love that is different than what our society generally depicts as 'love'.
I found this video that I liked because I love passion pit and they covered the song Dreams by The Cranberries which is in the film...
